Personally, I find Samsung has a "it boots? Fine then ship," mentality to pretty much all things. Their buggy phones, buggy SSD's, buggy TV's, etc. I wouldn't recommend them, even though they do well on SSD speed tests (which are often gamed by on-board ram caching).

The 840 Pro exceeded 2.4PB of writes before failing in Anandtech's tests over 18 months: http://techreport.com/review/27909/the-ssd-endurance-experim...

Even if Samsung has some systemic problems, it's more subtle than just schlocky marketing, or targeted benchmarking.
