Since the recent release of the new 850 SSDs by samsung, there has been a significant price drop on the previous iteration. I currently do not have a SSD in my system, and need one really badly. I am going to only want my OS, games and other programs on it so I would like to go with the 500gb or 240gb. Which one is better because of the almost doubling of the price for the same amount of storage?

840 evo because it's cheaper, the pro is more "reliable" but by the time the Evo dies/has issues it'll be a long time from now anyways.
