I'm sure this has been asked before and I apologize, but the search function doesn't work.
 
You guys using SSD's see any performance increases with them? What's the pros and cons of them? I'm thinking of buying one, but if there's no real benefit to it, I'll pass on it.
 
Also, any problems loading Sonar and plugins back onto a new one?

Buy one of these: http://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/memory-storage/ssd/ 
You won't regret it. Very easy to transfer things. Comes with all software to do that. I love mine. Very fast.
 

EVO as well.

I love my EVO 850s..I now have 2 250s and a 500. I won't buy anything but a Samsung.

I also have those (two 1TB SSDs) as internal drives. I shudder to think what it would be like to go back to regular hard drives. I would never go back.

It used to be that an SSD was expensive, so people bought small capacity SSDs. If you look around the larger capacity SSDs from Samsung are really not that expensive now. Sure you pay more for a larger capacity SSD, but the increase is nowhere near the stratosphere like it used to be. More capacity is definitely a good thing if you have a lot going on with your music software.

I have two Samsung's.  An 840 EVO for Win 7 and an 850 EVO for Win 10. 

New build is getting 2 1TB ssd's for some of my larger orchestral libraries and a 500gb for my system disk.

I just bought a 500G Samsung EVO. That's more space than I should ever need on that system. I have a 1TB HDD I store all the projects on.
 
I'm thinking about doing a clean install when I get it instead of copying everything to it.

I put the OS, programs, Content, Projects, and CCC on the SSD. All other data goes on HDD. It makes for a zippier start if you can keep the Projects and Content on C:.... IMO
 
I will never be producing anyone else's content so I won't run out, and I have 2 TB of HDD to cover me.

I have 3 drives in that box right now. The C drive is only 150G I think. It's running low on space with what very little I have on it. So, with this new drive I may move the projects back to C and just use the slave drive for misc stuff.
