Are you sure you weren't comparing the performance of the 850 Pro and the 860 Evo? The performance difference between the 850 Evo and the 860 Evo should be negligible at best. You'll never notice the difference. I have experienced no discernible improvement between my m.2 drive and an internal sata one in anything except sequential read/write tests, which is the least important drive metric.

 

Go for the cheaper one.

get what is cheaper.

 

The 860 evo is newer and faster and has more endurance, get it unless the 850 evo is cheaper.

The 860 evo is only marginally faster than the 850 evo. There's honestly little difference... it's probably less than 10% in most cases. From what I've seen, the 860 evo has much better power consumption under load as well as at idle though, making it quite a bit better for laptops.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
