Heres the Samsung SSD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147249
Mind you that nothing else will compare to it performance wise. Price wise is a different story....
By the way: they have the same SSD at Amazon.com for the same price, but its free ground shipping over there.

I think you guys picked the same one lol, I'd def go with the samsung one. I've heard better stuff about em and they have really good ratings. Depends on how soon you need it, I've seen some good amazon sales on them too once in a while.

Some of the newer Intel 730 SSD's are quite nice. They are fairly new to the market and pack great performance. I've heard great reviews about 'em.

SSD's technology is getting better and better by the day, however they are still a lot less reliable for safe storage and or back-ups. Their crash rate is higher and and lifetime rate lower. I definitely recommend anyone to use a SSD's drive for their OS and even games if you have a large enough one. HDD's are the biggest bottlenecks in most computers today as far as performance is concerned. Once you go SSD, you never go back.
As far as brand choice, Samsung is a good choice, as far as model, pick the one you can afford. Make sure you compare the *SS-R&W speeds.
