    256GB is the sweet spot for me, been waiting for this since I missed the BuyDig deal earlier this week.

    Samsung SSDs are worth it period! 99.9% flawless, reliable and stable.

    As the saying goes, "you get what you pay for."

    If they can make ridiculous claims for their warranty, we can make ridiculous claims about not being aware it applied to the whole box and not just ONE side of the box.
