I have the 830 and was researching whether or not fstab "discard" option

Apparently it is for most SSDs, except for the Samsung 840 Pro, which
apparently uses a new technology that conflicts with "discard"
Translation - they didn't implement discard and are relying purely on
over-provisioning and other flash management techniques. Discard never
was "necessary" anyway, it's just an optimization for informing the
disk's firmware that some sectors are free for reclaiming.
