Evo os far better as a os drive because of the technology it employs.

I remember Linus or someone else talking about another trait that the 840 EVO drive has against the 840 Pro.

Please become a member of the Linus Tech Tips forum, keep writing smug remarks & let us love you. Peace out.

It can use a small portion of its TLC memory as SLC for small transfers and it has RAID which uses your system ram to speed up small transfers pertaining you have 2GB+ of ram and it can only use what ram you have free and is not in use by other.

That is probably RAPID but its now on the Pro as well.
