The Crucial difference between this and the EVO?

Very good price; Good performance; Temperature control features; Good RAID 0 performance

Not as fast as the Samsung EVO

1- Hardware accelerated bit locker works really well. 2- Rock-solid reliability! 3- Very easy firmware upgrades 4- Good price for the large capacity.

Great drive with lots of speed. Hope it lasts and doesnt crap out after a year or so. Downgraded it because it didnt include an adapter for a 3.5 slot.

Great drive; Gave me the extra speed I needed for the computer I use as a small business server

Exceeds rated read and write speeds; 7mm low profile fits in many Ultrabooks and thinner laptops; Excellent compatibility; Decent 3 year warranty; Massive storage (for an SSD; Very affordable for a terabyte-class SSD

No desktop drive bracket included; No software bundle included in the box for migration
