Hi I was wondering which was better because I know the pro has a better SEQUENTAIL read and write speed and a better warranty but I've also heard to stop worrying about sequentail speeds and if it was worth the $80 difference with only a difference in 400mbps in both SEQUENTAIL read and write speeds and a better warranty for the pro and if there's any other differences between the two please list

IMO, the main difference between that's really relevant for any PC use is probably the endurance rating and in turn, the warranty.

Pro has double the endurance rating of Evo. For the 5xxGB variants, iirc that's 400TBW and 200TBW respectively. If you're someone that's planning on deleting and rewriting files a lot, then is relevant. Pro will die after 400TB, Evo will die after 200TB. Most people probably won't write enough to care that much about the endurance.

Similarly, the performance numbers at this level becomes more a case of bragging rights than anything else. You're not really going to notice much of a difference for general use cases.

So in short, Evo is good enough.
