The older Samsung Models as far as Im aware had some reliability issues with the controller but the new models, such as that one, seem to have fixed that. The Crucial has a Marvell controller which is generally agreed to have less problems.
General gist for the Samsung models is slightly faster speeds, slightly less reliability than the Crucial. The 840 is a new model so hard to comment definitively on it just yet.
I would have though the Samsung 830 was every bit as highly regarded as the M4 for reliability?
The 840 is a little unproven for sure as they changed the NAND chips used and is is only out a few months. But certainly has some decent benchmarks thats for sure.

Ya your right, Samsung have definitely proved it with their controller in the 830 but have seemed to have taken a step back with the 840. Still it is very much up in the air at the moment.0 -

Iv got two Intel 330 Series 128GB SSD drives im going to put into a new build in a RAID config. I know it will be half the capacity of this drive but Im only going to be running the OS, Photoshop and two games off it so there will be plenty of space left.
Would I get better performance off the RAIDed HDs as apposed to this single drive?
Cheers
Absolutely, if you use RAID0 on those, the the speeds will be phenomenal.
The only issue of course, RAID0 has no redundancy, so in the unlikely but possible event that one or both drives fails, that's the end of your data. If you're using an unusual Hardware RAID and the controller dies, it might also not be possible to restore on another PC.
If you back up your important files elsewhere though, you'll be fine.
I have a similar setup on my gaming PC (4 SSDs and growing :pac:) and 2x 1TB 10000 RPM barracuda kit in RAID1 for backups
That said, SSDs are fast enough as they are, so RAID speeds may not be noticeable in every situation. If you don't need the massive speed boost or are a bit wary of data loss, you can set up a Dynamic Disk in Windows, JBOD in Linux or your RAID controller 0 -

I got mine but can't use it as I've no way of installing windows yet.
Can you not clone it with a live cd?
Really regretting not buying this was trying to be good post christmas but on reflection I probably spend 30 mins of my working day listening to my hard drive thrashing starting programes so I'm only wasting my own time. If anyone else know for a decent bargain on 128MB+ let me know.0 -

Why? It's solid state, pretty hard to damage even if you fling around your PC case!
But if it does move, it could damage something else on the motherboard etc In the end I have built it (despite what I said) and it using the new drive which is sitting on the DVD drive
I have actually come across a pain in the ass though during the build last night though The Win7 copy I have is an update version, so it needs a previous OS installed.. XP will not install using the drive as the main (or only disk), Win7 will install fine.. but you cannot register its code if it was the single OS install..
Going to have to ring MS to get them to manually register my machine which is pain in the butt, as I rebuild a lot.0 -
