Samsung 850 Evo or Pro for my Macbook pro early 2011

Hi, I was looking at getting a SSD for my macbook pro early 2011. I just wanted to know people opinions on which would be the best option for me, here are the two i was looking at. Samsung 850 evo ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-2-5-Inch-Solid-State-Drive/dp/B00P73B1E4 ) or the Samsung 850 pro ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00LF10KTO/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=569136327&p f_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_… ).


Thank in Advance

Since most all new SSDs use SandForce or similar controllers, they all have poor speeds with incompressible data. This includes the Samsungs. If you are so inclined get the Samsung EVO, but not the EVO Pro. If it works then count yourself lucky. If it doesn't work then don't forget what I said and don't forget the Samsung warning.
