how does this compare to the "evo"

I believe it has capacitors that will keep your data from being lost.

Yup. Bought the 480gb Mushkin for a NUC on sale for like $379, still too expensive :biggrin:

The 240gb is quite a bit slower and not as well regarded from reviews I've seen.

Here is a comparison (you can click on the M500 to read the review):

I was debating the Evo and M500 but decided what's $30 really in the grand scheme of things and went with the well-reviewed Evo instead.
