Nice review. I do have a question. The 1 TB EVO and PRO both use the same MEX controller, have the same performance and both are priced around the same, give or take a few $. What would be the selling point for choosing one over the other? Someone who is not really familiar with SSD performance may be confused when really the only difference between the 2 is the casing. UNless I am missing something.

where did you check prices? in my country 850 EVO 1TB is 441.67€ and 850 Pro 1TB is 570.55€. difference is pretty significant.
btw, will we see other models reviewed, in particular 1TB one?

Changing what I wrote, realised it was I that made the mistake!
Since looks great, I've been looking for a replacement for my SSD.

You mean Endurance?, that's correct. 75 and 150 TB written.
Hilbert, I think you made a mistake with the write amounts, in that it should be EB's not TB's.

Definitely looks promising on quick analysis and paper, but long term info needs to be available before I make purchases of Samsung drives now. We still don't know if the 840 EVO "fix" actually fixed anything as we still need to wait for that data to get old - sure it moved data around to "fix" it at the moment but the issue requires time to manifest. Now that they switched to different nand here it makes me think they didn't actually fix my 840 Evos. I'll do a wait and see on future Samsung products.
