Agreed. I like the EVO for speed, but at $205 for the 500GB right now, it's cheaper to go with the Sandisk. I mainly use the Sandisk for breathing new life into older computers/laptops and not for performance purposes. I own both side by side. You can tell a difference if you have both computers doing similar things side by side but probably won't notice significant differences until hardcore programs are used (gaming, rendering etc.). Easily enough for surfing and basic stuff though. Also saves me a hell of a lot of grief when fixing family members computers because I don't have to blindly wait for a slow HDD or hybrid HDD to crawl by.
That being said this SSD still easily blows mechanical drives out of the water in terms of performance.
