That's a tougher question to answer.
The 840 Pro is positioned as Samsung's premium drive. It uses 19nm MLC NAND.
The 840 EVO is the successor to the original 840 (non-pro). It uses 19nm TLC
NAND. TLC NAND offers greater densities by storing 3 bits per cell instead
of 2 as with traditional MLC. It makes for a less costly drive, but has
fewer program/erase (P/E) cycles and lower write performance. The original
840 was a good enough drive (I have one of them), but the EVO was released
later with some pretty innovative technology to mitigate the write penalty -
specifically, it features a small amount of SLC NAND in the package that
increase write performance. However, it retains the TLC advantage of
offering higher capacities at lower price points.
