+$20 is +33%....which is a lot for some people.
I think this drive should be great for a basic desktop user.
That drive is garbage. Spend the extra $20 or so and get an 840 EVO, you'll be glad you did.
CEpeep> That drive is NOT the one on sale. That is the V300. This is the V300+.
Don't care, wouldn't trust it. Kingston needs to take more action than adding "+" to the end of the product name if they want to repair their reputation. They shouldn't be selling anything with this branding anymore if they've changed their business practices. You deserve exactly what you get if you buy this.
Did this ever get released/tested?

Apparently they are ignoring non-evo drives as well

Uh 840 EVO with that crap TLC? I'd rather buy a MLC one for the same price, even if it does end up being a fair bit slower.
TLC gets too much hate. You're probably not even going to be using the drive by the time it actually wears out.
Yeah people were saying the same thing re: MLC back when SSD's were ridiculously expensive and SLC was the more reliable choice, and that ended up being a lot of fuss over nothing.
Needless to say, the concerns about write-level wearing have died down and there's a good chance the drive becomes obsolete due to speed or capacity before durability becomes a concern for most users. My 5 year old Intel X25-M G2 160GB drive for example is still at like 97% drive health or something like that and it's about to be retired.
