Hi,
I am looking to boot from an SSD, and put a few programs like Chrome and Steam on, and Samsung SSD's seem to be the best bang for the buck, with great performance. So I'm asking, is it better to pay the ~$10 extra for the Pro 128GB or stick with the 120GB EVO? I'm buying it off eBay, that's why they're so close in price.
Here's links:

EVO 120GB: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-840-EVO-SATAIII-TLC-Sol...
Thanks!

the extra $10 also gets you 8GB more capacity so overall, you're not paying too much for the extra performance
I would suggest the MX100 though, it's got good enough performance and is pretty cheap to boot
