I noticed something. The SATA 3 cable that comes with my motherboard does not "click" when connected to the SATA port on the Samsung 840 Evo. With the same cable, I got a "click" when I connected the cable to a WD Caviar Blue. Have any of you noticed this?

did it require a more than usual amount of force to insert?

Not at all. I have installed several Samsung SSD and they are all fine. Light plastic fitting, voilá...

Mine doesn't click either. It has nowhere for the latch/tab to click on to. It fits snugly enough.

Mine doesn't click either. It's been running for a year now. Only issue is I bent the IO port a millimeter when changing cases around the start of the year, but it still runs fine.
