Is the Samsung Evo 840 SSD a worthy purchase or should not be considered because of the firmware bug or is the fix by Samsung ok? God a good price on this. Want to hit purchase price today at latest
The Samsung FIX is just a temporary fix, then give it some time, and performance drops again, these drive suck plain and simple and only shine in benchmarks, in real world performance, I would take an 840 PRO which is cheap now any day over the EVO
He's just anticipating that performance will drop again over time because the fix essentially refreshed all the data so it's new on the drive again and thus doesn't suffer from performance degradation on old data.
After owning 3 840 EVO 1TB SSDs, I would never buy a TLC again...like EVER!
Stick to any MLC SSD slike the Crucial MX100 or SandDisk Extreme II or SanDisk Extreme PRO or Samsung 850 PRO
