Everything has been zoom zoom zoom so was just assuming the teenager at Best Buy did an ok job picking it out for me. These were replacing some Intel SSDs that went bad.
I've been running my OS from the same raid as my games since I took the SSD plunge on 48GB Kingston SSDNow drives. I have yet to have any of them fail. I did limit the original 48 and 64GB models to 85% of capacity to give them spare blocks but I didn't do that with the 256GB 840 Pros. I'd pull the SMART data off of them but I don't think Samsung publishes the wear/life data publicly to determine accurately what the write amplification and such was on them. Also, I'm hearing from my OS guy that Win10 is the first Windows OS to fully support SSD optimizations, so there's that.
