main difference is that pro is suppose to last longer, hence 10 year warranty vs. 3 year warranty

The 840 Pro is faster than the 840 EVO but it shouldn't be noticeable in day-to-day tasks.  The Pro is also supposed to last longer than the EVO.

 

I would just go for whichever one is cheaper.

10 years is for the 850 Pro, not the 840.

I'd go for EVO if I was you.

 

Also after 3 years or some sort, will get a new SSD whichever is best at that time.

Pro has MLC nand, Evo has TLC, both have survived long term testing.  The Pro has reached in house testing at Samsung up to a petabyte from what I remember, and the Evo is around 120tb worth of life in it if I recall.  Most SSD's live longer than their warranty(except for the -old- OCZ's and Crucial m4's), but between the two - Crucial MX100 is similar in performance to the Pro, survives around 74tb(if you don't write to it a crap ton it'll last forever), and it's cheaper than the Evo by a few dollars.  Also has a few more gigs in it, so that's something ^^

He should have. But he didn't.  ;)

 

Crucial MX100 is similar in performance to the Pro,

Closer to the Evo actually. In Benchmarks slower than both Pro and Evo - in real life user's experience... probably no difference.
