I'm justified in avoiding the 840's and the 840 EVO's I think.....-- Intentionally Left Blank --

Although the 840 Series is clearly in worse shape than the competition, these results need to be put into context. 500TB works out to 140GB of writes per day for 10 years. That's an insane amount even for power users, and it far exceeds the endurance specifications of our candidates. The HyperX 3K, which has the most generous endurance rating of the bunch, is guaranteed for 192TB of writes.
I try not to knock Samsung's SSDs, but I just believe that its competitors deserve more attention sometimes.Phyrelight liked this post

Re: SSD performance over time.
I was shocked at the graph at first until I read the data amounts before the failures as well. At 140GB of data for 10 years is insane, I will never reach 10% of that in the life of my rig and yes I have the 240GB evo 840
The money I saved on the EVO line now will pay for itself in a few years when I buy a larger SSD for a lower price at that time compared to now.Last edited by Phyrelight; 01-14-14 at 11:22 AM.
