I bought this drive after using the Samsung 830 SSD on my MacBook Pro. That drive was fast and super reliable, hopefully the streak will continue with this one. On typical day to day operations, I don't really notice a difference between the two. Benchmarks using Black Magic Speed Tests show the following:Samsung 830 (256GB):Read: 468 MB/secWrite: 389 MB/secSamsung 840 Pro (256GB):Read: 512 MB/secWrite: 451 MB/secIf you are thinking about upgrading from an existing SSD, depending on your usage, it may not be worth it. But if you are going from a traditional HDD, go for it. You won't regret it.

The 128 GB version performs with remarkable speed and stability. After almost 2 weeks of very heavy use on a fresh install of Windows 7, I've experienced no issues. Samsung's 4th-generation 3-Core MDX Controller has been and still is at the top of the heap. Initially, the performance was lower than rated because I did not have AHCI mode enabled in my registry and BIOS, but after a couple of tweaks my benchmarks were impressive:Samsung SSD Magician v3.2 benchmarks:Seq Read 532Seq Write 379Ran Read 64378Ran Write 43474AS SSD Benchmarks:Seq Read 502.25 MB/s, Write 370.08 MB/s4K Read 29.13 MB/s, Write 53.99 MB/s4K-64Thrd Read 327.99 MB/s, Write 270.136 MB/s4K-64Thrd Read 83966 iops, Write 69153 iopsAcc.Time Read 0.083 ms, Write 0.060 msScore 981(screenshot posted of 2 benchmarks taken a week apart)This drive is a bit expensive (at the time of this review), but that is to be expected at this point. I purchased it elsewhere for a slightly better price and I did not hesitate buying it on the first day it was released. I also purchased a Silverstone SDP08 Bay Converter for it which fits nicely in my Asus case: SILVERSTONE SDP08 3.5 to 2 X 2.5-Inch Bay Converter. Regarding the software that comes included on the CD, Samsung SSD Magician always indicates there is an updated version when there actually isn't...strange, but the app works fine nonetheless. Their Data Migration software isn't included on the CD but is available for download from their website.UPDATE 11/21/2012:After updating the driver from the Microsoft's AHCI to the latest Intel 7 AHCI 11.6.0.1030 controller, my iops increased substantially.Samsung SSD Magician v3.2 benchmarks:Ran Read 96500Ran Write 77319AS SSD Benchmarks:4K-64Thrd Read 96049 iops, Write 75320 iopsScore 1082(screenshot posted)UPDATE 01/19/2013:I purchased the 256GB version as well and rec'd it yesterday. Fantastic performance with higher seq write and iops compared to the 128GB version. I used Samsung's Data Migration software to copy the partition from my 128GB drive onto my new drive, and everything went smooth. Couldn't be happier.CrystalDiskMark - seq:521.4 Seq Read502.0 Seq WriteASS SSD Benchmark - iops:97158 read70100 write(screenshots posted of both)------------------------------------My machine:Intel Core i7-3770 CPU16.0 GB A-Data PC3-12800U-11 RAMAsus PH877-M Pro motherboardWindows 7 Ultimate x64

***UPDATE 12/31/12***Amazon keeps removing my links in this review, sorry. Also, I notice I had my read and write speeds flopped, this has since been corrected on all my reviews posted for each SSD.I am an avid MacBook Pro user and do a lot of hardware reviews for Apple products. I was able to get my hands on a dozen or so SSDs and test them out on a 2011 13" MacBook Pro and a 2012 13" MacBook Pro and have posted my results below on speeds, firmware and RMA.All test were done with the SSD installed in the Main HDD Bay1, not the Optical Bay with SATA III on both the 2011 and 2012 MacBook Pro's. All 3rd party SSDs in Mac's require a Terminal CMD or TrimEnabler App to enable TRIM has OS X doesn't turn this on be fault.*DRIVES LISTED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER*-------------------CORSAIR FORCE GT-------------------SPEED TEST via BLACK MAGIC DISK SPEED BENCHMARK *WRITE: 306.3 MB/s *READ 486.1 MB/sCONTROLLERSandForce SF-2200FIRMWARECannot be updated in OSX natively, you must use a Windows PC or with Bootcamp using the Windows Update Tool found at [...]RMA:Offers Advance RMA?
