Ive been meaning to get a 850 pro ssd to replace the 840 evo wich i have now. i will stick teh 840 evo in my HTPC. Just for speeds sake. Also right now ive got 500GB back up drives wich dip down to 20 to 50MB/s mostly.. So ive been meaning to get 2 WD black 2 TB. because my old drives are simply old, slow, and too small.

I was wondering if i missed anything and someone got something better in mind. and yes i chose HDDs because they more reliable then ssd right now.. as its for BACK UP purposes..

If its backup, why not a RAID or investing in a NAS.

I have a 1TB NAS, but i also want to have the data on my computers. The NAS is more a back up for teh back up drives. I never trust 1 system, just to **** up somehow and lose all my data.. RAID might be faster raid 0 that is, but again 1 drive fucks up and i lose everything. Raid 1 ? thats what im basically doing. its just that i have 1 back up drive in each of my computers.. again if 1 computers blows somehow, all my data is still on teh other computer..

And i got an 840 evo 1TB, and it dips down .. abit.. seeing the reviews for the 850 pro, it just shovels data around without breaking a sweat.. I mean the 840 evo is great in burst, but sustained it kinda hmmeh. still better thehn hdd in speeds ofcourse..

@TDuiker: I'd get the 850 Evo. It's barely slower than the Pro from what I've read, but for a lot less money.

@Jr14: 750 series is verry expensive, and i would need PCI express lanes to use it, and potentionally a m.2 connection for NVME.. so i guess i would need a 2011 processor, and a mobo with more lanes, and m.2 connection.. and intel 750 series is bloody expensive :P

@TDuiker: True. Didn't think about if you had all of that or not. Does look nice though and is supposed to be really good. The 400GB one isn't to "terribly" expensive, now the 1.2tb one is pretty expensive.

I will say this, it would make sense to me to have a 750 series in m.2 type, if it was in great enough capacity.

And future mobos/cpu's would acommidate for this with more PCIe lanes..
