I prefer the 840 PRO.

The 840 Pro does not come with a mounting bracket therefore I was wondering if this bracket comes with 8 screws and works with the samsung SSD?

I normally recommend Samsung due to their excellent performance and reliability.

I maintain the ssd database listed in a sticky at the very top of this forum section. Here is the link:

Scroll down to the brands and models you are interested in and follow the links to the technical reviews.

I've had very good luck with the Orico drive bay adapters. They make several different versions. I've used the adapters that convert 5.25 inch drive bays to 2.5 inch drive bays. One of those adapters can fit two ssd's in one drive bay space. The adapters come with a small plastic bag containing mounting screws. Here is an amazon.uk link to some samples:
