    Did you use a $30 off coupon and have staples pricematch for you. I picked up a 256gb m4 for real cheap that way.

    Yes I actually got the M4 but it arrived damaged then they messed around for 3-4 days with that and I got an additional coupon on top.

    Great price. Just paid a similar price for less GB Intel 330 SSD.

    How does this SSD compare to a Samsung 830?

    I have setup test systems with several of both. Performance wise the SanDisk Extreme are pretty close with Samsung edging them in a few benchmarks.

    As far as durability, both have been extremely durable so far.

    Beyond the test systems I did within my company I have a SanDisk in my Sager and it runs really well.

    Both are amazing products and just get the one with the best price at the time you can afford it. I would give the preference to Samsung but gladly use sandisk in my m18x, crucial in the m14x and samsung in the MBP
