I would go for the MX100, as it's cheaper, with similar real world performance.

MX100 hands down, because evo has issues with read speeds.

I've got one 840 EVO, one 840 Pro, one Intel 520 and an old Kingston Force GT. I'd say they are all similar in performance. Depending on what you're currently running and what you are trying to achieve I'd say the differences between MX 100 and Evo are negligible. If you are currently on an HDD only you'll be blown out of the water regardless of which SSD you choose.

 

I went with the Evo for my latest build since many of my friends have had good experiences with it. I'm in no regrets.

does an SSD worth it, if you do not need that R/W speed for work?

I am looking for personal experiences here

Its totally worth it...

Once you go [sSD], you dont go back :lol:
