Samsung 840 EVO vs. Kingston HyperX 3K?

[RandyWhatever]

Which one is better? The Samsung 840 EVO or the Kingston HyperX 3K?

The Samsung is better.

It's surely the Samsung, still with their late hiccup, I'm still not so sure about them.
So I will additionally recommend Corsair M550 or MX100, still preferably M550.
Otherwise if the hiccup is really fixed, and no more problems occurs then Samsung 840 EVO is very viable option

Kingston SSDs are weak performers, even the EVO can beat them.
Why don't you try Toshiba Q series pro, or Sandisk Ultra II? They are better than the Evo, and don't cost a lot.
