  because a new wave of ssd is coming soon however these new SSDs wont be peaking the SATA 3 format form factor of max 600MB/S read or write.

  Meaning they reach a bottle neck and from here on, once every body is 500-600 mb/s the only way is price go downward or same price for bigger size

  TLC drive like the one by EVO series are coming for other chip builders like Toshiba, hence a new way of price being driven down further…

  I was thinking of purchasing a 250GB Evo soon. With a 28Degrees card, Amazon works out about 15% cheaper than purchasing locally, but I'm not sure what you would do if you receive a malfunctioning drive from Amazon US.

  Samsung SSDs have excellent write speeds, better than Crucial, but I am not sure how much difference it would make in real world tasks (OS boost, Photoshop startup, game loading…)

    I use both the 840 Evo 500GB (at work) and am currently using a Crucial M500 480GB at home. It's honestly a crapshoot as to which is the better SSD from mere observation of boot and load times. One day one feels faster than the other.

    People also fail to take into account the mother board and storage controllers, which have as big of an impact on your read/write speeds as the SSD itself.

    The 840 Pro though would be a definite step up from both.

    The reason I favour the Crucial though is if you do get a black-out or your PSU/mobo has issues, it'll cope with it. Whereas again, it's a crapshoot as to what the Evo will do with the write-buffer in those circumstances. Also you get more reserve NAND on a Crucial (7% over-provisiong + RAIN array); virtually every SSD I've used has come with factory bad blocks.
