The only major problem with Samsung ssds is they are TLC nands and that means 100TB or read and writes . You couldn't kill a MLC drive unless you tried really hard for months . A TLC drive only needs to be used normally for a year before its dead . 100TB is nothing .

I would dispute the prediction that after one year the Samsung 840 pro SSD would be dead, but we'll leave that for another discussion 
Other than finding a drive on sale... IMHO the best 120Gb SSD on the market for price and performance right now is the Corsair Neutron GTX
http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820233404
It is one of the very few SSDs that don't suffer a performance loss based on the capacity of the drive.
While I certainly wouldn't turn down a Samsung 840 Pro at the right price, I think $149 is just too much money for that particular drive.

A few minutes ago, I saw Vertex 4 120GB is on sell for ~$74 in newegg, in the Black Friday deal.
Ok, that's the same product. You may buy vertex 4 now, which would be a very good deal.
Link please?
