Not a good choice for OSX due to poor performance consistency. This is a low-endurance drive with a 3 year warranty, or 72 TB of writes, whichever comes first.
You should've bought a Samsung Evo series drive intead.
As someone who has both brands in use, I'm not sure I agree. The MX100 had some firmware issues at launch, but is currently one of the highest rated drives out there. Performance isn't much of an issue if you ask me since it is going in a machine that already had a 7mm drive, so wasn't using the latest and greatest in interfacing like machines with an existing PCI based drive.
Also, your Samsung EVO also only has 3 year warranty. You'll need a PRO to get 5 years (with 73TB limit) or pay through the nose for an 850 PRO for ten year warranty.
