This is normal for a 256GB drive (roughly 7% less than what is advertised). Unfortunately this false advertising is true for ALL hard drives (SSD and traditional mechanical drives).

No, although I have never updated via USB. It will either work or not work but wont hurt anything either way. If the Magician software can see the drive then it will probably work.

Also, make sure you update ALL available Windows update patches (including the OPTIONAL patches for compatibility issues). Some of the issues I had were resolved after fully patching W8.

I tried the firmware updating software on Windows 8 and keep getting "Firmware update failed on the selected drive". Is this what you mean when you say it freezes? Or do I have some other issue?

Take a...

Nope. Different drive. The Amazon price is for the 840, not the 840 Pro. Vastly different specs, and Samsung is being a bit dishonest to make the names so similar.
The 840 non-pro uses TLC NAND...
