Samsung 860 Evo vs 840 Pro?

[teepweep]

Hi all,

I have a Samsung 840 Pro (256GB) that I bought around 6-8 years ago. It's still working great but there is an amazon prime day deal on for a 860 Evo (512GB) for £60 stacked with a discount code.

Can anyone tell me if the speed differences and robustness alone will be worth the upgrade? The benchmark sites I looked at stated that the 860 evo only has a 12% speed increase over the 840 pro. The extra 256GB would obviously be nice though but I am more concerned with speed/lifeline.

Many thanks

Awesome deal on the EVO, I'd hit that even if I did not need it!

For home usage, there is no real difference between pro and evo.
I would simply get the bigger capacity for the same price.
