Sorry I bought it

Purchased to upgrade a Mac Mini. Issue: Search for "Performance issue Samsung EVO 840" to get a sense of the problem. Many reports of drive slowing down over time on both PC and Mac. At least one firmware update released; another on the way. Firmware update software not Mac native. To upgrade firmware on a Mac is a project with no guarantee of problem resolution. Who needs the hassle when there are so many alternatives?
