I think the Wiki is misleading.
Performance wise, if someone is going from a HDD to an SSD, there will be a huge jump. It's like going from a Ford Taurus to a Lamborghini Aventador.

Would this drive be fine as a system drive of an HTPC? All my WMC recordings go to a secondary drive but would it still tax a SSD?

The problem you guys aren't realizing with the TLC vs MLC (840 vs 840 Pro) is that it doesn't take into account the cost/size of the drive.
For example, due to wear leveling and write...

Why is it, that in every Samsung 840 thread, a bunch of people come out and start trashing TLC.
Does anybody have any real data that proves that TLC has significantly shorter real life than MLC?

Does OS write often to SSD? It is the only slow thing here.
If you use this for desktop, power doesnt matter.

It will still run cooler than a tradition HDD.
Also, for the average user who writes/erases 10gigs a day, it will still last you about 7 years.

Go for the Pro if you can afford it. It has better performance and higher reliability. It would be around $200 (vs $140 for this one).
