He was pretty down on their firmware. However, Peter Tonoli from unimelb said he'd not had any issues with Samsung 850pro's, but he takes care to never run them over 50% occupancy.
The SSD endurance testing had the older Samsung 840 (I think) come out on top. All drives since around that time have been pretty good. Samsung did have an issue with slow downs at one stage, which needed special work to "restore" normal performance. But that PC Perspectives guy really knows all this stuff much better than me.
