Hi,
Thanks for your review. I've read a lot of stuff regarding SSD's before ordering an 840 EVO 250gb. As I was looking for a "solution" more than just for a piece of hardware, I found Samsung's offer to be the more balanced in regard to my needs.
When I say "solution", I mean the ssd and the software.
When I looked at Crucial for example, these are cool ssd's, but the bundled cloning soft was not compatible with Win 8 and win 8.1 ==> you got to buy one or use a freeware as Partition Magic. I saw that Samsung adapted its own software immediatly after the release of Win 8.1. Good point.
Same thing about firmware update and OS optimisation: it seems that Samsung Magician does it all for you. And again, immediatly available for Win 8.1.
the 840 EVO is maybe not the best (but certainly not the worst either), but Samsung all in house solution (ssd, cloning soft, install kit, optimisation tool) convinced me.
