At this point a lot of ppl have answered your questions, but it would be impolite to not reply :)
As others has stated this is inferior to the 830 so $140 is my base price...personal baseline.

Intel is better at this point only because it's been around longer, so there is more experience with the drive in the real world.

Same here.
I suspect that a typical user will never run into issues related to drive endurance with 840.
If you're still planning on using it after 7 years, it'll still work fine..

the 7 year is for lite use. or estimated at 10 G writes per day.
if you have multiple VM running or system turned on 24/7, you should reduce that number accordingly.

The 830 is a better drive. The TLC drives look like they may have a shorter life span. Unless its the 840 pro.

830 beats it in the sequential writes, though 840 seems better in the other areas (random writes/reads, sequential reads).

Why would you be looking at this offer in this case? Just buy a bunch of 830s or 520s and be done with it.
If you're looking for an 830.... just get the 830.

Samsung can probably only make that claim because the drive is larger than "most typical MLC SSDs on the market".
