PRO vs. EVO- What's the best for me?

This is probably going to sound funny to some of you, but literally I have spent about a month of my time deciding which SSD to pick up. I am planning to buy a 256GB for my OS and applications, and a 500GB for my files and what not.

Now my only problem is I don't know which Samsung SSD to pick up. I had a general idea to pick up a 256 PRO to boot off of, and the 500GB will be an EVO, or should I get a 500GB PRO and a 256GB EVO to boot off.

Should I buy all EVO's or buy all PRO's? Ahhh the combinations.

Now please, not to be rude, but don't suggest me buying an HDD. I'm an SSD type of person and I want maximum performance compared to somebody on a budget. I'll rather have performance>space.

Thanks!

Pro or evo, a regular user won't see a difference. The only difference will be noticed in Enterprise applications. I have a 840 in my gaming Desktop and a 840 EVO in my Gf's gaming Laptop and both units are running fantastic.Only go for the pro if you want the two extra years of Warranty.

Only tells me what's the best SSD overall. I want to know something specific to my situation.

If the money is no issue you won't go wrong with getting two pro series drives. If you want to save some get pro for OS and EVO for data drive.

Another option: Pick up an mSATA to PCI adapter, buy a 1 TB Samsung 840 EVO mSATA SSD and get 1 TB of storage that will outperform any other Samsung SSD.

Just a thought.
