I have ordered a samsung evo 120 gb since my old harddrive is about to die and also because i found this one rather cheap. Have an extra normal hardisk for large storage.
However, no matter how much i read with reviews, diskussions etc. people have so many different opinions and also unnecessary opinion where they go into "tech" analyze more then actual real world analyze.
What confuse me is, some are really overprotective with their ssd and saying it only should be used for boot and windows. Pagefile and temp from chrome etc should be stored else where because of writes and space.
Others says that even with heavy use it can write 10-20/gb a day and still function without a problem for a decade.
My plan for the evo 840 is to just use it as a normal storage. Optimize where its needed but after that i will install games, anti-virus, using for downloads etc. As long as i remember to delete always to have atleast 30-40% free room.
With downloads is because i use usenet and that require some big hardisk usage for repair and extraction after download which slows a normal 7200 hdd to slow down alot.
My gb per day differ from heavy use to ultimate use to causual use.
Some weeks i can go for 20-30 gb a day. Other weeks it barely 1 gb every 3 day and others 10gb a day in a week.
Plan is to have the ssd for 2-3 years.
So how is it really?
Like the overprotective ssd guys says and will only survive less then 1 year.
Or as other says it will survive for 20+ years,
or third and its will be a middle ground?
