Affordable laptop SSD on Tigerdirect. Requries a $40 mail in rebate but at $70 + $5 shipping but you're getting a high quality Samsung 120GB SSD for $0.63 a gig. It's the lowest price so far on this model by $15.
Thanks to a $10 coupon, the new 120GB Samsung 840 Series SSD is at its lowest price ever. Not many reviews yet given the recency of its debut, but as successor to the very well-reviewed, reliable 830 Series, we can guess it will be a similarly impressive performer.
Reliable 120GB Samsung 840 Series SSD only $90 at NewEgg after coupon. Lowest price ever by $10. That's $0.75 a gig for a well reviewed new SSD model which only released a month ago.

New low on Samsung's 250GB 840 Series SSD via Rakuten (still called 'buy' on eBay). Plenty of space - a couple years back, you'd find most laptops with traditional HDDs came with 250GB - but with the speed and near-nonexistent seek times of an SSD. Next best is an Andrew Jackson more.
Nice price on the 250GB Samsung 840 Series SSD - within $5 of the lowest price we've ever seen, and $10 off anywhere else you'll find it. Deal expires at the end of the day. This drive is a nice price and space compromise - it's not as large as the average platter HDD, but it's got 2x the space of the standard 120-128GB SSDS, and it's not as prohibitively expensive as some SSDs are priced so soon after their debut on the market.
New low by $10 on Samsung's latest consumer-grade 250GB SSD. This is pretty darn cheap per gigabyte for an SSD that came out less than half a year ago that's also getting good reviews for general performance.

So is this expired already?
Missed the previous hot deal on the Samsung 840 series 250GB drive? The SSD is back at $150. Comes with a complete kit so you can migrate to the 21st century with some serious speed. Sure, the Pro series is faster, but most average Joe will be well served with this drive.
Solid deal on the popular Samsung 840 series SSD in the 250GB size. This is $0.60 per gig. Not too shabby a deal given its recent release. This is the lowest price we've seen so far $20, and the next best runs you $30 more. This particular model includes a desktop install kit, making the value even more compelling.

Lowest price we've seen on the 256GB Samsung 840 Pro Series SSD at Rakuten, and over $40 off the current next best price. As the successor to the well-regarded 830 Series, the 840 Pro series has good IO and reliable performance.
This deal ties the previous low on the popular and powerful Samsung 840 Series 256GB SSD. The next cheapest you'll find this is for about $20 more. Reliable, great IO, and a solid (get it get it) choice for replacing a traditional hard drive.
Today's price on the 256GB Samsung 840 Pro Series SSD ties the previous low we saw just under two weeks ago, and it's $20 off the current next best price. This is the successor to the widely acclaimed 830 Series SSD and features great performance and reliability ratings thus far. Grab this if you don't want to compromise space for speed as you might eventually do with a 64 / 128GB SSD.
Really great price on the 840 Pro series SSD from Samsung. Significantly faster than the regular 840 and in my opinion, well worth the extra $50 so you don't have to upgrade again anytime soon. New lowest price, beats last week's lowest by $10.
New low on the 256GB Samsung 840 Pro Series SSD by $10. Fast drive and well-reviewed. Keep in mind if you've got a Mac you'll need to use a PC if you want to upgrade your firmware on this particular drive, but it should ship with the current revision anyway. This read at 519MB/s and wrote at 496MB/s in a 2011/2012 MacBook Pro, so it's certainly not a bad choice by any stretch. Speeds are on par with those quoted by Samsung.

Samsung's made a name for itself as a manufacturer of high performance, reliable electronics, and this reputation strongly applies with its 840 and 840 Pro lines of SSDs. Although these two are Samsung's current flagship lines, the previous 830 Series generation earned numerous accolades and is still an excellent buy for users looking for speed without sacrificing stellar reliability and vice versa.
The primary difference between the 840 and the 840 Pro lines lies in the kind of NAND flash each drive uses. The regular 840 Series uses TLC NAND, which means each cell of the SSD holds three bits, as opposed to the two bits held by MLC NAND cells. So the storage density of the regular 840 Series is greater than that of the 840 Pro Series, allowing Samsung to sell it to you at a lower cost. The downside is that the 840 Series is slower and in theory has fewer write cycles (effectively lifespan) than the 840 Pro Series - but the latter concern is largely irrelevant for normal use.
A quick summary
Honestly, if you're like most users, it won't matter. You won't reach the write cycle limits on any of these drives over the course of several years of frequent usage. You won't see an enormous difference in bootup or program load times. You'll get bragging rights if you get the 840 Pro Series for speed benchmarks, but we wouldn't advise you to buy just based on benchmarks. (Well, okay, it IS pretty cool to be able to write at well over 400MB/sec :)
That said, if you see a new Samsung 830 Series SSD at a bargain price, jump on it. It's more than fast enough for most needs and has a fantastic record where reliability is concerned. As the 840 and 840 Pro's track records become more established, chances are they'll show a similar trend, but where your data's concerned, there's no reason not to go with a proven option that often costs significantly less than the lesser known option.
