I was in the market for SSD and came across the following, and it seems like a very tempting bargain, but debating either do with Crucial or Samsung
Samsung 840 250GB $139
Crucial M500 240GB $149

Both are sataIII both have 3 year warranty both are good, samsung 840 more popular based on # of reviews on newegg (726 vs 35 reviews).
Mild preference for samsung due to small increase in capacity.
Also - why is this in "extreme" storage?
i would go m500 all the way. the 840 non pro uses cheap TLC and you have to provision it so you only get 209GB of usable space from the 250GB drive. the m500 uses normal MLC with a longer life span per cell.

I just found this post after posting something similar but for a 1TB SSD.
If they both have a 3 year warranty is the reliability factor not moot? The way things are going and still developing with SSD's and prices dropping too, then after a 3 year warranty expired I'd be looking at a newer gen larger capacity SSD if I were to replace it?
If we put that equation aside then its down to price and performance or even stock availability I guess.
