Depends on your definition of performance. For normal usage, performance is dictated by QD1 4k random reads. Going by that, nearly everyone comes close.
That said, if you need a SSD for more server-type oriented workloads, performance for QD>1 may be more relevant to you. If you edit a lot of video, then sequential performance numbers come into play. But for basically everyone else, these just command an almost twice the cost per GB over other drives that will do the job just as well.
Or to put it another way: what I want to see from SSDs, is better QD1 4k random reads and lower cost per GB. Year after year Samsung manages to improve in every other aspect, but competition has managed to lower the cost per GB.
I'm more interested in QD1 4k performance also. All these QD64 figures posted are pretty much meaningless for consumers. In fact they give you unrealistic high expectations for normal daily usage.
