Very nice! I was just looking for a new 500GB SSD. I will get this pending reviews

It's faster than current favorites like Crucial MX100, Samsung 840 Evo, and Sandisk Ultra II, but it needs to come down in price a little before it's really attractive. Right now it's priced against high-end SSDs, and its performance is really only in the upper midrange.

Is the 850 PRO better then the EVO?

Awesome. Just what I've been waiting for. Time to get two 1TB SSDs and RAID them together.

Is the 850 PRO better then the EVO?

Yes. Much higher write endurance due to using MLC instead of TLC, and somewhat higher performance as well.

So that's why they were running a sale on the 840 evo's. Damnit, I've been duped.

Well, you can get a 480GB SSD for $162 at NCIX, so I don't really think that price is so great.
