there is small performance diffrence samsung has 5mbps more read speed than ocz. but the main aspect is RELIABLILTY, which you'll not find in ocz.
+++ samsung is pretty light weight and slim 7mm

Sequential write for OCZ or CORSAIR is much high than Samsung. Correct me if i am wrong.

No to OCZ SSDs as of now. Lifespan of their SSDs in 3 and 4 series eventually degrade its just a matter of months. You can choose Force GT from Corsair with 1.5 firmware or above, if you want to. Samsung SSD is now distributed by Ingram Micro (maybe prime still does it, not sure), so 840 is a good choice.

You need to look at Random, especially 4K aligned.
