Good article. Cheaper SSD's are ruining the market

[Shadowbane]

I will just point out for fairness' sake to everyone in the thread that is going on about how long their 840 evo is lasting, lets not forget that Samsung does have a lot of secret sauce software to keep their TLC drives going faster, longer, than any other brand really. And it's not like Samsung hasn't had to put out numerous firmware updates for the 830 and 840 TLC drives to keep them going strong. Most manufactures don't do that, lets be honest. If you look towards the lower tier manufactures, its not so great with their TLC products... Samsung is not the rule in the SSD space, their the exception in most cases.

So I guess my choice of Samsung 840 Evo for my next build is a good choice, I will have to find somewhere else to trim my $7,000 dollar budget.

Wenn it comes to storage its all a matter of luck really.
Sure there are SSD's that are better then others.
However how long a SSD will last is mostlly a matter of ussage and luck really.

This is just another one those minor 'conspiracy theory' articles that's just spewing the fear of the unknown jargon. By the time my current SSD's end of life approaches I'd probably have moved onto a new PC
