    Haha, no worries, I knew what you meant anyways.

    Its just nice to see the 1 TB mSATA 840 EVO come down in price to where, in my opinion, it should be. However, it is the only game in town so Samsung can charge the premium it so wants and get it too. It's awesome though, 1 TB worth of capacity in mSATA form factor. I find it amazing.

    why not just get a standard 2.5 in SSD? The SATA m500 is 450 for 960GB. This would allow you to have windows all programs and a bunch of games. I even i cna manage comfortably with 500GB drive...took some finagling.
