A firmware update was released for that 

so the choice is MLC or half baked MLC (evo)

whats better I use the computer alot gaming, development etc.

also do you have to power cycle it if the computer does not turn off correctly. I have an old Crucial M4 which does this

In benchmarks the 840 evo is a little bit better but uses a TLC flash ,though they do have a warranty 

So reliability wise MLC is better 

 

Personally i would go and am getting the mx100 but still didn't get it becasue i want to order it with the 970 strix =D but the damn thing isn't in stock

mx100 is a superior choice, because its cheaper, better flash, overall a bit faster, powerloss caps.

EVO has nothing going for it.

Yes, mx100 is cheaper and the EVO had the firmware issues but its not "better" in every way like you say it is.

yesterday's weirdness is tomorrow's reason why

So yeah, oveall its atleast on par with EVO, while being cheaper, more durable and issue free.

I've just got a 128GB Evo yesterday. Getting 450-500MB/s reads and 60MB random reads in synthetic benchmarks. Everything is incredibly snappy :)

 

I haven't run into any issues with it slowing down yet. But yeah there are some firmware updates.

I use a Lenovo T440: i5 4300U, 8GB RAM, 128GB Samsung 840 Evo, 14" 900p display and an external 23" 1080p passive 3D monitor. Extended 6-cell battery with internal 3-cell. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (I only use open-source software -- haven't paid for a single program yet).
