1x256GB

Thanks man !! But listen there is 500GB 850Evo for € 184 is this good option ? 

I heard that they lose some write and read speeds after 1/2 years usage and die younger.

i dont see that many people reporting that issue any more, but its a fact that the EVO doesnt use MLC nand

 

if you back up your stuff regularly and dont run stuff like servers 24/7 then the EVO would be perfectly fine for you while giving more storage

it will still last over 5 years for sure

 

oh and a tip: dont install any of the samsung software stuff

you dont need it

The evo and pro both offer similar performance, however in the long run, the 850 pro will probably outlast the evo. By then, however, more than likely it will be outdated whenever that may be considering samsung bundles a 10 year warranty with these babies. Anyway, I have an 850 pro and the performance is phenomenal if you can afford, but if you are on a budget and don't want to pay the difference, you can't go wrong with an evo.
