    I'm looking for a 256 or 512GB SSD that won't break the bank and is at least as fast as my Plextor M5 Pro.

    I'm selling a 500GB Samsung 840 EVO. Check my signature.

    That's one bad- SSD you've got for sale there.

    Too bad I'm such a cheapskate and won't SSD any bigger than what I need for my OS and programs, my Travelstar 7K1000 works just fine a cheap secondary hard drive solution for now.

    Edit:

    Mods must have edited my original post and now it looks like I'm mocking J.Dre.

    Just to clarify bad- (which was edited) means great/excellent or bad@ss as it was originally intended.

    It's cool, I saw your original post. No offense taken. ;)

    @Peon: I've owned several SSD's and have had the best luck with Samsung. I recommend sticking with them.
