Can we move on from this comment? You keep saying it. You're defending Vertex4 yet you don't even have one and you're so "obsessed" with some speeds that really won't much of a difference for the average user other than showing of in benchmarks. Samsung 830 is not ancient, with that logic how can you still live with a vertex3, Z68 board etc.
Vertex4 is a fine drive and I'm glad you love it. OCZ track record has not been great but they've made changes and I'm sure it's much better now. Samsung 830/Crucial M4 has proven to be really reliable (important to a lot of people) and still has great performance even if they don't win overall benchmark rewards. That is why we still recommend them. With the firmware fixes to Samsung 840/pro I have no problem recommending those either although personally I still prefer 830 over 840 because of the different NAND used. 840pro is good but usually cost more. Either way I think the horse is both dead, beaten and buried so I'll refrain from bringing it up again.
