Sup3r Hi, Anyone know where to find Samsung SSD 840 Pro in Lebanon, And Do we have an official retailer for Samsung?
Metalloy cherfan tawil is the official retailer of samsung. no idea about the availability of the SSD.
Sup3r Bump.. Anyone tried shipping SSD from amazon and what was the customs charges? P.O box used? appreciate any input.
AVOlio I will buy one this month from Amazon. I know a person which is traveling to Europe this month, and he said if the item is small, and easily handheld I can bring for you. Though I'm still waiting for his final decision if he can/will bring it or not. I will buy a 840 pro, 256GB. Though there is now the newer version, the 850 pro. The price difference between them is like 40-50$. And I don't know which one to choose, most probably just stick with the 840 pro.
m_zeid I bought two SSDs back in 2011, they were crucial 64GB SSDs. Bought them along with other items. Can't really remember the numbers, but all I can remember is that I was F#$ked by the customs. I will check the invoices for you and will post back.
Die_Kapitan @AVOlio, I highly recommend the SanDisk Extreme Pro, it's quicker than the 840 Pro and cheaper than the 850 Pro

I shipped a Samsung 840 EVO 500GB from Amazon back in Dec 2013, it did cost 299$, used Borderlinx to bring it to Lebanon and it did cost me about 40$ for shipping, clearance and VAT.

AvoK95 Get an M550 or an MX100. Both from Crucial. They're better than the 840 Pro. The 840 is cheap because no one's buying them anymore because of other SSDs being faster and sometimes cheaper.
