Hi, everyone. I just bought an 840 Evo 120 Gb last week. Just yesterday, the 840 Pro 120 Gb was posted on sale at a local store for about the same price ($2 more) as the Evo. I still have a month to return the Evo and get the Pro instead. And even though the Pro is older, with this deal I think I'd more bang for the buck with it (its color scheme also goes very well with my all-black build). So, should I go ahead and replace my Evo? I'm having second thoughts even though I made a fair amount of research. Please share your thoughts on this. :0
 
Solution
Yes, if it's only $2 more, definitely go for the Pro. Apart from being faster, it has a better reliability rating, and
you'll have a little more space too (the Pro is 128GB raw).

Thanks for the quick response, guys! For my workload I think the Pro is overkill, but I can basically get it for the same price as an Evo (since in this case the $2 buys the extra 8 gigs, haha) I'll definitely pull the trigger on the Pro.

Thanks again! :)
