So who would buy an 860 EVO over the PRO or vice versa Well, that depends on your workload, endurance needs and wallet size I guess.

I upgraded my 2012 MBP with this SSD, it is now so much faster!

The fastest SATA 6GB/s interface SSDs yet

A little pricey

Launched at the same time as the EVO model, the Samsung SSD860 PRO, the successor the mighty 850 PRO, uses Samsung's 64-layer MLC V-NAND and has an endurance rating that eclipses the previous generation 850 PRO's life expectancy.
