How would someone argue for buying a samsung 850 evo 1tb over this? I have samsung 830, 840, 850 evos in all of my computers in varried sizes and have had no problems with them at all.

One advantage is the EVO uses 3D nand that should have more write endurance than the 2D nand that Sandisk uses. Although for a 1TB drive this should not be an issue at all for desktop usage. Both drives are TLC.

I am happy with the SanDisk Ultra II 960GB that I purchased 2 weeks ago for $189 @ newegg ($199 - $10 free coupon) although its not like I have pushed it that much. It's in my HTPC / fileserver. The main need for swapping out the 256GB SSD that I had in there with this was to allow my samba domain profiles to be located on the ssd instead of a spinner.

I got this drive for $175 last week with promo codes and moved all of my games to it. Its been great and I cant tell a difference performance wise between this and my 850 evo. I dont think it can be beat for the price.
