I'm purchasing a new SSD soon to replace my OCZ Vertex 4 that is going to go into another build. I figure I'll buy a newer SSD for my main PC and use the older Vertex 4 in my new build which won't be used as much. The Vertex 4 is 256 GB and I'd like to maintain that size or go bigger, but currently I have about 40 GBs free.
I've done some research, and the Samsung 850 Evo seems like a great SSD, and I've always wanted a Samsung SSD for the reliability. However, I hear a lot about the TurboWrite feature and how when the cache is exhausted, the write speed drops down to 300 MB/s. I'm concerned, because my Vertex 4 is faster than that in writes all the time. So, in some scenarios, would the 850 Evo be a downgrade from my OCZ Vertex 4?
Is there a better SSD I should purchase instead of the 850 Evo? Keep in mind I'm coming from an OCZ Vertex 4, which in itself is a respectable SSD. Thanks for the advice & insight!

I'm concerned with the TurboWrite feature actually providing slower write speeds than my current SSD for workloads larger than 3 GBs. If that's the case, I think a different SSD may be better.
