Samsung 850 pro or Samsung 850 evo?

Made In Canada

Ok, so i have been looking at getting a SSD for my PC and saw the Samsung 840 pro, it looked great and was one of the top sold SSD's.  But afterward, i found out there was a Samsung 850 pro and samsung 850 evo.  Usually the higher the number, the better,  so i looked into it and found these points.  One thing i found was how the evo is getting more software updates, but the pro had more SATA high speed storage and that the pro has better benchmarks.  I am not worried if my SSD gets updates (unless they make it better than the pro)  but i want to hear some advise from other people. Also, should i get 128gb storage or 256gb storage for the SSD.  I am planning on getting some of the new games for PC and was wondering how much storage to get.  Any advise would be appreciated.

I really suggest getting 250GB of SSD storage, since its not that expensive and so worth it. Wishing that I also had 250GB

850 evo

there wouldn't really be much point getting the pro

theres basically no speed advantage...and reliability is basically the same

The 850 Pros are usually too expensive for the little advantage they have. 850 Evo is all you need (maybe even more than you need) - and I'd say 250 GB, if you plan on installing a game or two on there as well, next to the OS and other programs.

I have 256GB PRO and I'm quite happy with it.

Wanted top drive at time and saw benchmarks which show better performance and endurance cause of MLC. It costed somewhat more which wasn't a bother.
