Last week I bought a brand new 250GB 850EVO for $70 from Newegg Ebay and it lives up to it's name. 500MB/s+ read and write speeds. The Corsair Force LX specs say a 560MB/s read, but a much slower 300MB/s write. It also has 1/2 the cache of the EVO, which has 512MB. The EVO has a 5 year warranty, the Corsair has 3 years.
The EVO has a 2,000,000 hour reliability, the Corsair has 500,000 less, at 1,500,000.
The clear winner is The Samsung 850 EVO, which wins every time.

The Samsung 850 EVO is a little bit faster with the random read and write, which I think makes the difference in everyday performance. I don't know if you will be really able to tell the difference between the SSD's with day to day work, but my money is with the 850 EVO because I've used them personally and at work, all to good effect.

My question though is where are you going to buy a Corsair Force LX? They seem to be either out of stock or used only on site like Amazon and Newegg.
