I have the EVO version and I believe the Pro is even faster.

The Pro is faster. They are both good SSDs though and for the average user, you won't notice a difference in speeds between the two.

Pro is supposed to be more reliable, but since it's not enterprise rated.. there's really nothing "pro" about it except in the name..

4k random performance on the PRO is barely 5-7% faster than the EVO... and yet look at the cost.. over 25% more..

none of the other numbers matter.... so don't start... LOL


and reliability...  obsolete in 1 year... i don't need bullet proof reliability.. I keep daily backups..

item is small enough it will be pretty cheap to mail proxy it. Probably about $10-$15, I would imagine. ($25 for a flat rate priority)
