That 660p deal could be ok but you can get TLC drives for that price.
That HP EX950 looks solid on paper but I have PTSD from past HP experiences and 2 TB is more $$ than I want to spend on something thats going to amount to maybe a couple millisecond differences in what I'll be using it for. Even a SATA drive is more speed than I will ever need.
I'm really just hoping the 500GB ADATA drive drops down below $50 somewhere on a flash sale and pair it with a 1TB Vulcan/MX500/SU800 SATA drive. The Vulcan drive is what Amazon lost in shipping that I bought on sale which I'm kind of salty about.

What are the read and write speeds on a TLC drive? I thought it was only about a quarter of what the 660p is claiming it could get? Why would you even compare the two? In addition, that Samsung drive has almost double the read write speeds of the 660p and that is why you pay the premium price. I am all about performance and not necessarily the cheapest.
