850 Pro worth it over 850 EVO?

[TemjinGold]

Getting ready to rebuild after a few years and it seems now Samsung SSDs are top of the line. I've noticed the 850 Pro has a pretty healthy price premium over the EVO (as much as 50% for 1 TB). Is it worth such a premium? What exactly do you get for that? Or should I just get the EVO and forget about the Pro? I'm not against paying more for getting more but am wary of paying more for nothing in return.

One of the biggest differences IMO is the warranty. You can read more about the two head to head here:

Awesome, thanks!

850 EVOs are great drives. I'd personally save the money from not buying the 850 Pro, and use it towards a better video card, monitor, speakers, imported beer, etc.

I bought the EVO.

Good to know! Though that recent Samsung mention of better drives on the horizon is making me want to wait now...
