Fastest, most reliable and durable, not to mention prices are almost equal with the others. For a normal consumer that's the best you can get.

Part of it is that Samsung is the manufacturer of many of the semiconductors used in many of the electronics we use every day. CPUs, NAND, and other memory chips all use semiconductors, and Samsung makes a lot of them. As such, they tend to have better quality and prices than much of their competition.

Not to say that the rest aren't good. But they have to buy semiconductors somewhere...

Recently, I've notices Mushkin has a great reputation with a better price than many Samsungs. Not sure how, but they have a good thing going. But if you notice, you didn't even list them. Sometimes it takes an unknown to shake things up. Vizio did it with TV prices not long ago.

With any luck we have a good, competitive, future ahead for SSD memory.

Samsung used to have a huge advantage over the others when it comes to performance of SATA3. Now everyone is pretty much caught up to the SATA3 standard and is limited by that (except for SATA express and PCI based SSD's). Really any of those brands make a good SSD.

Marketing! They do have the edge being a much bigger company than most of the competition.

All in house development and sourcing. Whereas many of the SSD and memory vendors buy their products and really only assemble them. Samsung makes them, markets, and sells them. Additionally they are more then a memory company and can balance costs across the enterprise. This allows them the financial room to play games of undercutting competition to become the market leader. Which they really managed in the SSD market by generally getting new products to the market first and offering lesser products, compared to their own high end and enterprise products, at reasonable prices.

What they said...and they're a popular name in electronics in general, and their SSDs have a better warranty than others (speaks volumes to most consumers), and Samsung is ALWAYS innovating. They're doing it again already with the 950 Pro. They even had an NVMe version of the SM951 before that many people didn't know about. Samsung's the only one with a 2TB SSD = innovation, and they claim they're the only one that can do it (on a SATA interface) due to their 3D NAND. Then, just to blow everyone out of the market, they did this: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/08/samsung-unveils-2-5-inch-16tb-ssd-the-worlds-largest-hard-drive/

After that they probably dropped the mic!

Mushkin is trying, and they're pushing their whole "made in a america" thing, but they still don't seem as good. A couple of their SSDs (like the Striker) are very nice but they're the more expensive ones of course, and at that point the specs of the Samsungs beat them so Samsung FTW once again.
