Samsung Evo or Pro For MacBook Pro?
HI,
I have been wanting to upgrade to and SSD for a while having had a Samsung 840 (Non Pro) in my Black MacBook, but have just been awaiting the funds.
In the next week or so i think ill be able to order and SSD for my MacBook Pro (8.1 i think) its a Late 2011 model (2.4Ghz i5, 16Gb Ram) with a Sata III interface so i want to make it fly compared to the lazy 5400 Drive.
Having had a great experirence with the 840 Non pro, I automatically thought id get the Evo as i think Samsung have the best performance vs cost for SSD drives as well as unrivaled reliability which i regard higher than outright performance (even though Samsungs are fast anyway).
The only reason im asking on here is due to several reviews and forum posts across the web from Mac users saying the Evo is performaing slow and givving the SBBOD in their systems - which has put me off a bit.
I'd be happy with the Evo if i know its going to run well and would buy the 250Gb model but at the moment im more inclined to push my budget for the 840 Pro 256Gb.
Does anyone here have hands on experience with the Evo? Should i be worried or should i just get the Pro?
