Lots of SSDs on sale these days. Does the Egg have anything that can beat this: http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-MX100-adapter-Internal-CT512MX100SSD1/dp/B00KFAGCUM Crucial MX-100 512GB for $200.
($15 more at the Egg.) Both Egg and Amazon have the 480 M500 for $180 which is a bit more GB/$ but I like the extra speed and capacity on the MX-100.
I'm ready to pull the trigger on the MX-100 but will take further discussion to Storage forum.

Looks like the mx100 is the faster drive by a pretty significant amount, but the 500 is a decent drive, too.

Amazon has the 500GB 840 EVO for $210 and (I think!) it comes with a code for Far Cry 4 (which you could sell pretty easily for $30).
Confirm that it comes with the game, though.
EDIT: This link seems to indicate Amazon is participating.

I've had great fortune with Samsung drives.
Not a single failure so far. The crucial drive is faster, though. If that's what one cares about.

In writes, perhaps, but in reads, the EVO is the winner and that's what we do most in daily use.

So where did the 480gb number come from in so many SSDs? 512 is a power of 2 but what about 480?
Sorry just curious.

Those 240/250/480/500GB drives are actually 256/512 GB but have some of their nand hidden for over provisioning. It's part of maintaining a certain level of performance and reserving some memory for remapping of failed cells as the drive ages and can no longer create the proper charge levels in individual cells.

Right, just wanted people shopping SSDs to know that the 850 EVO is about to come down the pipe if they aren't dying to get an SSD this minute.
