Guys,
Both of you hijacked my askabout mechanical issues.
Yes, I do appreciate the added info to think about!
Just another f/w to keep track of.................... :)
Best,
Duncan

Thanks for the heads up, didn't read that article. So then 840 series it

No - the premature 840 / 840 Pro failures were traced back to pre-release
(e.g., for review/early evaluation) drives running pre-release firmware.
Samsung has stated that the issue was resolved prior to shipping firmware,
and there have not been any reports of failures of retail drives despite
having been available now for several weeks.
See Anand's follow-up:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6483/update-on-samsung-ssd-840840-pro-failures
At this point, there's no reason to avoid the 840 series.
I hope your SF drive continues to operate error-free, but having been
burned
badly by Indilinx, I'll stick with those with proven track records.

The samsung 840 series seem to be dying. Read the Anandtech article.
Stick with the 830.
I'm super happy with my Sandforce Sandisk Extreme drive.

Should I choose to do SSD, do current (2012) SSD drives come to me
with hdw to install in a 3.5in HD aluminum cage?
Wondering.
