Yes, the 850 evo is good. The 120 and 250gb models are at good prices right
now.
Sandisk has a good one as well, but the model escapes my mind at the moment.
Kingston also has their SSD now which are good for the price. These are the
lower capacity.

Which ones do you suggest DJX?
I'm replacing an old SSD here which is my system and programs drive, but I
might add one for samples and synths too.

my libs and such on some. The read problem isn't really as bad as it
was exaggerated to be. The thing to watch for is 3d cells which most
manufacturers are now using; some drives suffer tremendous spped loss
when transferring large data, due to bad implementation. But with
prices dropping like tomatos and the pay off being almost instant
project loads when using omnisphere, superior drummer and kontakt among
others, it makes for a good investment IMO. Of course that's not for
everybody, and it would require the user to know how to best care for
SSD drives to make its lifetime a nice long one lol.

Not sure really. Using an external 7200RPM SATA III drive here. Guess
you could go thunderbolt for those also but usually that's not where
any slowdown in system performance is. Usually it's processor speed
and RAM. I know solid state drives have come down a lot but there's
still the issue of read cycles on those. I know that's not the issue
that it used to be however DAW builders such as Jim Roseberry over at
StudioCat still aren't going with those as audio drives. Solid state
would be great for a sample drive say on a desktop system as loading

I use my Ext drive, not a Solid-state, but it really is fast on the
Mac. I'm def gonna get a new USB ext drive next month though. Only have
one and need more space. You know how that is.
The Mac has the flash storage drive though.
1 tb in it as well.
:)
Any good Recommendations for Ext drives?
I have a little "My Passport 1tb" ext drive here.PLEASE READ THIS
