This question has been answered before, but what i don't understand is why almost everybody is vouching for the 840 pro when the GS has better performance.
From what i have seen:
Read speed: GS 560MB/s, 840 PRO 530MB/s
Write speed: GS 535MB/s, 840 PRO 390MB/s

The gs wins and still it gets no love by anybody. So is it fanboyism?

The Force GS has an older SandForce controller, and does not write as well as you indicated. In most reviews the Samsung is faster, the 840 Pro is highly reliable and has the excellent Samsung Magician software.
