The EVO is a far better value.

The PRO uses memory that wears out slower, but the TLC in the EVO would take so many write operations to wear out it's really a non-issue.

My usage pattern says I'm good for 400 years with my 250GB EVO. They calculated some worst-case scenarios and it was still at least five years and these are more like server constant access situations.
