The Battlefield 4 Thread 2015

- Start date
I will be seeking a refund for my samsung 840 evo 250GB due to the performance degrading after a certain amount of time so will pick up a larger SSD as games are stupidly big these days!
And yeah not bothering with cte hardline, besides probably only for premium users......
Hopefully be on tonight for bf 4.

I have the same drive in my PC, its 14 months old and seems to still run OK.
Should I be worried?
Zavod at night and the AN94 are highlights of CTE for me.
What sort of performance are you getting?
I know their continuous write performance isn't as good as they quoted (I've seen ~200MBps on 256GB EVOs when I was expecting 400MBps+), the bigger ones are much faster though (512 & 1TB).

EVERY 840 evo suffers the problem
The second "supposed" fix was released a few days ago but it seems like Samsung are just going to do a "de-fragment" of the drive every few months and can't actually do anything about it since it is a hardware problem.
Here is my drive before and after with the first update:

And this is my drive as of a few days ago:
I don't move/install/uninstall stuff from this drive often so my drive isn't too bad but after a few more big uninstalls/installs, it will probably be back to the "before" performance again and require another defragment (which isn't good for SSD's)
Essentially as long as you do their defragment fix, your drive should perform well but it won't last as long (although by that time you will probably have a new SSD) and afaic, their "fix" and not acknowledging the problem and dealing with it properly is a joke.
I got mine from the rainforest so shouldn't have too much of an issue getting a refund, I can't see ocuk and other etailers being as easy to deal with though....

Run hdtune and post the results then
The 840 pros aren't affected so they should be fine.
This is my crucial m4 128gb (my os drive) after 3 years with no defrag etc.

My mistake, mine is a pro not an evo - sorry.
Me and Xonatic play BF4 most nights still. A mix of Lockers and vehicle maps. I'm working on mastering all the guns (61 so far). He continues to whore his 870 MCS.

I'm guessing my 120GB Samsung 840 is terrible? 
Firmware: EXT0CB6Q

vs my 512GB Crucial MX100

The firmware was already installed to the latest but IU'll run that performance restoration thingy now.
Edit dll'd 4.6 and new firmware is availible. Doh - noob alert!
