The difference is that the Pro version has the better nand flash and should last 2x the data written on the Evo. The Pro has a 10 year warranty where as the Evo is 5 years. I don't think there is any other manufacturer that offers a 10 year warranty other than Plextor. WookieSM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
