Not only does the newer EVO model use newer 19nm 3-bit Triple-Level Cell vs that of 2-bit MLC found in the 840 Pro, but it also features a much more attractive price-point and an increased IOPS…

Whether you're a regular user or even an enthusiast, the Samsung 840 EVO (500GB) has the best price/performance ratio of any internal solid-state drive (SSD) you can buy today....
Judging by its design features, the Samsung 840 EVO is something in between Samsung’s 840 Pro and 840 models - a top-performance SSD with inexpensive TLC NAND flash memory. This description is rather superficial, though. Samsung has put much effort in...
