Heya,

 

They are all good drives, personally. I would say, the Samsung 840. As it is a great perform, and I know that their SSDs use the top grade nand flash for their SSDs. Also, their customer service is reliable, if any problems occur  (god forbid).

Corsair 400R, i7 3770K @ 4.5GHz 16GB, Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz, Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H Motherboard, 240GB Samsung 840 Evo Sata III SSD, 2 x Asus GTX 780 Direct CU2 SLI, Corsair H100i and Corsair AX860i Platinum Power supply.

Get the 840 Pro. Its worth the extra money.

Most of the time, not really. The difference in speed is negligible and the average user rarely writes to an ssd. Both the 840 Pro and non pro will last quite a long time.

Get the Samsung 840 (non pro) if it isn't much more expensive than the V300. Otherwise, get the V300.
