128 850 pro or 250 850 evo

[topscorer17]

The 128 is 139.99 and the 250 159.99. Is the pro series speed a significant amount faster that I will notice in boot time ect? Or is the extra capacity more valuable?

Grab the EVO you won't notice a difference.

Not in boot or load times, only in write times. The read speeds are both the same on the EVO and Pro. The only real advantage to a Pro besides write speeds is warranty (the 250GB 850 Pro comes with a 10 year warranty vs 5 years on the Evo). You probably will be upgrading anyway 5 years from now so the Evo should be fine unless you plan on keeping this drive until past 2025.

Hold on a minute topscorer...

The info you rec'd certainly doesn't square with my experience. I have both the Samsung 840 Evo 250 GB & the Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB. Admittedly the speed differences between those two models isn't enormous but the 850 Pro is faster in both boot & access times. I would unhesitatingly advise you to go for the Samsung 850 Pro which Newegg currently has for $159.99 + 2.99 shipping. If you can swing it $-wise you won't be sorry.
