This is a more common situation than people realize. :)
I think comparing the basic specs sheet I am not sure if I like this drive as the EVO is cheaper at 359 vs 379 while containing better write times. The read is higher by 20 so I guess it is whatever is more important to you (Which actually for me read might be) but still I would save the money on the Samsung over it.

So, to avoid HDD scrubbing noises, heat, slow transfers and access, i'd just gow ith 2TB SSD because 2TB feels plenty for my current needs. And seem to stay that way for the future. I mean, for me it just makes sense. Adding SSD for boot drive only and you don't really solve anything since you'll still have that grinding thing in a PC...
But so can a NAS/Server, but if the 1 tb ssd is cheaper than a 1 tb nas i know what i would want.
