Disk Speed Test
Thanks for the informative review, very useful.
As an aside, do you know of a link to get the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test app other than the Apple Store? I do not have a credit card and can't download it from Apple. Another Apple glitch, locked into the system or locked out, take your pick ....

resolved
Issue resolved! Using the App Store application was the "wrong" assumption. I had iTunes running in the background, tried again, and everything worked, skipped that annoying Review your Payment method" catch 22 dialoge.
Now able to access the free apps.
Thanks, but that link, and following the resultant "Download" buttons, just kicks me into the Apple store again, same old story.

Anyone have speeds from a Samsung 840 and Samsung 840 PRO to contribute to this list?
----------
It will be so negligible its not even worth the test imo.

My Samsung 840 Pro 256Gb in a 2012 13" cMBP i5 consistently has a 483-489 write and a 513-518 read.
On another note, does anyone know if black magic provides details on 4k random read/write at different queue depths? If not is there an application for OSX that does? I'd gladly posted those numbers.

I have the SanDisk 256GB in my cMBP13
When I first installed it, my Blackmagic results were: 261.7 / 480.3
Now, 5 months later: 210.3 / 428.6
Yep, I just bought a Samsung 840 500GB SSD a few days: here is the screenshot I took. (it also has the M4, and the Momentus XT hybrid drive)
So far its a great upgrade to my M4.
Thanks so much, mind if id split the screen shots and add them to my original post with credit to you of course?
The 840-Non Pro results are impressive.

Can you provide a BlackMagic Disk Speed screenshot for my original post?
Sure no probs.
Here is the full image if you need it

Let me know if that works. It should be the full res image from the screenshot.

I am in process of updating this thread to be more organized and adding new SSD Benchmarks.
If you have an SSD not listed, if you can please provide benchmarks with a screenshot using BlackMagic Speed Test. Thanks!
Feel free to contribute any information, thanks!

I have an Apple OEM Retina SSD in a 2.5" Enclosure and installed in a 2013 13" MBP that I will be adding to this list.

I know there are others that offer more space and are cheaper, but I like the Intel for easy of use and pretty much worry free. I am looking at the 240GB Intel 520 SIII 6G.

This one seems to be a fair deal for what you get, would go for a 512 but next biggest is 300 and 600 but they are SII and priced higher
Here's a screen shot of the Disk Speed Test (Blackmagic) obtained from my Intel 335 SSD, MBP late 2011, TRIM enabled
