Unless you check the bottoms of the drives, you could easily mistake one for the other. On the inside, the Samsung series is very different from both the series and the Pro.
In fact, it's the first mass-production consumer SSD that uses this type of flash memory. Technical jargon aside, with the series, Samsung's aim is to bring down the cost of SSDs. The question is, at what level of performance sacrifice? You can find the answer in the performance section below. Because of that, the series will likely become unreliable sooner than other SSDs. This might be why the Samsung series comes with a three-year warranty, compared with the five-year warranty offered with the Pro and the series.
In real-world usage, this lower write endurance is not really a big issue, however. Most of us don't write 10GB per day, at least not every day. But heavy users, such as video-editing professionals, should pick a different SSD for their job. The series comes in two retail packages: with and without the installation kit. The installation kit package includes accessories for first-time SSD buyers who want to have everything they need to clone their existing systems from a hard drive to the new SSD.
The software offers a few handy tools for users to manage, test and customize their series drive. One of these tools is the ability to toggle overprovisioning. The series drive doesn't come with overprovisioning out of the box, leaving the users the options to manage this themselves. Overprovisioning is a feature that enables the use of part of an SSD's storage space to enhance the drive's performance.
With the the series, you can reserve between 7 and 24 percent of its storage for overprovisioning, making it one of the most flexible drives on the market when it comes to choosing between speed or maximum capacity.
Cost per gigabyte The biggest selling point of the Samsung series is, well, is pricing. The price is expected to get even lower soon, just in time for the holiday shopping season. The Samsung series might be the beginning of an era where SSDs' performance more than justifies their cost.
Shopping recommendations are off topic here. I did a bit of research and it seems that the comparison between vs are more.

Comparing the Evo and the Sandisk Ultra Plus shows that the Evo is the winner but the Sandisk may be a viable alternative thanks to its cache-free, and therefore more consistent performance during extended writes. Almost two years old, the Samsung is one of the oldest SSD's in the group test.
