Samsung 830 vs 840 pro (256 gb)

[computernewb]

which one is better? they are both going for $200 on newegg. ive read that the 830 is more reliable. But the 840 pro has a 5 year warranty.

which one should i get?

Personally, I would go with the 840 Pro. The 830 is an older model that is being phased out. If you can find a fantastic clearance price, then it might be worth purchasing.

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

Scroll down to the Samsung section and follow the links to technical reviews of the 830 840, and 840 Pro.

BTW - Samsung issued a firmware update for 840 Pro that improves performance.
