Hi folks,
I'm looking for ideas for either 2x500GB or 1x1TB SSD for storing samples on. It's a drive that probably won't have a ton of write, more read than anything. Super high speeds are probably not that relevant, but I'd like to ensure it doesn't have issues that cause it to slow down specifically.
It'll be a drive for streaming demanding audio samples from for composition purposes. I have a few 2TB 7200RPM's but they don't seem to cut it for really demanding samples.
The obvious is a Samsung EVO 850, but it's a little on the pricey side for 1TB. There's also the OCZ MX300 or WD Blue but they seem to have mixed reviews. There are some considerably cheaper SSD's on the market too but I'm not sure they're worth the money.
Any opinions on what a good in-between would be? I know the obvious answers for which SSD's are competitive but it's harder to find info on drives not used as boot drives and competing for high performance.
