Posted January 27, 2017 I'm in the market for a 512GB SSD. It is not going to be running full. Which one should I choose? Any practical differences between 'x'LC memories? Why do i always get blue screens? Why not a red one for a change?

The main difference is the amount of writes where the Pro uses the MLC providing it that extra durability and a longer warranty period.

The new 850 Pro and Evo are rated for 300TB and 150TB writes respectively so you have nothing to worry about. They still can continue even after the rated amount it's just that they don't guarantee it, but the rated numbers are quite conservative.

Posted January 27, 2017 Exactly my question, was going to start a topic on that. I have a laptop without discs.. Planing to get it up and runing again. I had to use its discs for my desktop (850 PRO), and now I'm kinda looking toward 850 EVO, since in the life spam of this laptop, nowhere near as many writes are going to be done on it. My 512gb 850 PRO has around 2-3TB written on it after about a year.. That's like 1% of rated writes.. So yeah. 850 evo it is. Don't choose 256gb tho. The bigger the size, the better.
