I'm trying to decide which 120 GB SSD to purchase for my desktop - the choice is between the two drives in the topic. The spread between the two is $10 (Samsung's favor) at MC Rockville (likely purchase source due to immediate availability). However, the Plextor has a two-year-longer warranty (five years v. three).
 
Plextor All day. The TLC Samsung 840 would have to be a lot cheaper to make it worth it.
 
I'd also go with Plextor. At the 120GB capacity, TLC SSD performance compares unfavorably with MLC SSDs. Add on the greater endurance of the MLC SSD, and only a $10 cost difference, and the Plextor MLC SSD is the clear choice.

With the larger sizes, 250GB and up, the choice is not so clear, since the TLC price advantage is greater, and the MLC performance advantage is less.
