Will the upcoming Samsung 840 Pro work with my Intel X25-M bracket?

Hey everyone, I've had an Intel X25-M 80GB SSD for nearly two-and-a-half years and it's been awesome. I just pre-ordered the Samsung 840 Pro 256GB and I'm excited about that, but it doesn't look like it will come with a desktop mounting kit--I don't think any 840 desktop kits are currently available on Newegg, just the bare drives.

Will the 840 Pro fit into my X25-M drive bay bracket?

I'm not expecting anyone to have a concrete answer since the drive isn't out yet, but some educated guesses would be appreciated!
 
If the Intel X25-M 80GB has standard screw holes for a 2.5" drive, and if we make the educated guess that the Samsung 840 Pro 256GB also has standard screw hole locations, then your existing bracket should work.

I recently bought a Plextor SSD that did not come with a mounting bracket. So I used the bracket that came with the Kingston HyperX 3K, which worked because both SSDs have the standard screw hole locations for a 2.5" drive.
 
95% yes I have owned almost every model of intel including yours and I have owned every model of samsung other then the 840.

the holes line up on the model you have with all samsungs so far ie 800,810,830.
