Samsung 840 120GB Endurance Testing

Despite all the theorizing, the way I see it, enjoy what you have as long as you bought quality at a good price.
Its like comparing comparing high speed ram. Everyone keeps telling you that there is a difference, the technology theoreticals tells you there should be a difference. In practice, the performance envelope is either so close or so past the point of human perception that its all but impossible to see a difference. More often then not, it will and should be, the price that dictates what is suitable.

I'll be honest, despite all the data gathering an research. I got the sandisk extreme ii because it was uber cheap, $280 for 480gb. At that price I didn't care if this was the most balanced drive, it was just a happy coincidence its performance was also strong.

 

Yeah, I think price is the biggest driver for people buying SSD's, they're all pretty damn good for standard users that don't push the SSD's to their limits.

 

You've made some really great points in this thread, so +1 rep for everything.

You're absolutely correct, at the end of the day, the only thing that really matters is that the end user is happy.
