Am debating replacing the main drive in the macbook pro with an ssd and moving the 7200 to the optice bay. This will be primarily for using Smoke on Mac and other intensive programs.
I am curious, which would be better for my uses:
Samsung 840 Pro

or the OWX option:
Mercury EXTREME Pro 6G SSD
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/SSDMX6G240T/
All the reviews for the 840pro were stellar, but hen anandtech reported multiple cases of the ssd failing on multiple machine. There is apparently a firmware upgrade to fix, but not available for macs.
Any input is appreciated.
Also should im be looking at a different drive or manufacturer?
Thanks!
