Hi guys,
Please help me decide on which drive to get. I like both of them ,just about equally. The Pro is a little faster and cost about $100.00 more then the EVO but the EVO is fast too... Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you don't have a specific purpose for needing the faster drive, save the 100$

Hi,
Thanks for the help and reply. The only reason why I would like the faster one ,the Pro is because of the speed..I use a couple of Flight Simulators and with my old drive it takes about 2-3 minutes to load.I know I shouldn't compare to my old ssd drive because it is slow compared to the Samsungs PRO and EVO..My SSD is only a 128GB Drive and it's old Toshiba . It came with my laptop when I bought it..So I'm trying to update my drives.

Part of that time is also used to decompress files, it's not just straight loading, but either NVMe drive should shave some time off.
