Neat. Samsung 840 Pro pops up again as a really stellar option for an SSD.

I think Samsung knows they're badass, and they make it clear by backing their newest 850 Pro SSDs with a 10-year warranty (http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/memory-storage/MZ-7KE1T0BW).


With twice the endurance of the previous model*, the 850 PRO will keep working as long as you do. Samsung's V-NAND technology is built to handle a minimum of 150 Terabytes Written (TBW) over the lifetime of the drive, which equates to a 40 GB daily read/write workload over a 10-year period. Plus, it comes with the industry's top-level ten-year limited warranty.
I only have Samsung SSDs in my main machine and, at the moment, I have no reason to even look at another manufacturer for any future SSD purchases.
