Re: Advise on an SSD
After reading this thread I went ahead and updated my firmware. I've had the BF4 stuff on this machine for about 9 months now and they're still pretty snappy (first few to load in). Maybe I just got lucky or I just don't notice it. Either way I do appreciate the heads up on the firmware.

I had two Samsung drives with issues, both were 840 Evo drives. One just flat out died and I had to RMA. It is still working, but was disappointing that I had to go through the trouble. The other 840 started to have errors, so I had to go through the pain in the ass steps to update the firmware and then repair the drive. Again, huge pain because I had to take the little APU box in my bedroom offline while the drive was being updated and reformatted.
Those drives aside, I have a Samsung M.2 that has been running strong for 10 months, and I just installed a Samsung MSata 850 Pro drive into a small MiniITX build, and I like the performance on it. Boot times seem great.
Intel SSDs are extremely solid. I have a single 530 drive that has been an absolute tank, and I am running 4x 730 drives in a single RAID 0 array that hasn't had a single error yet (knocks on wood).

I've not used the evo drives for a while. I just use Pro
