Great price for a great product for sure. But I won't make the same mistake I made with my Corsair, buy early and then watch prices plummet a few months later regretting I had waited a little while longer. I'm sure more competitive SSDs on the market will emerge soon, further lowering existing prices.
But for anyone who doesn't have any patience, this is the best price I've seen for the 840 pro anywhere.
