You kidding? Best thing I ever did for my DAW in the last... I dunno, since whenever.

I read a few articles on the one I bought and definitely see why they are so popular. I'll most likely buy a few more for my other machines.

BTW if you cloned a SSD from a OS HDD what software did you use?

Data Migration program included with Samsung SSD drives.

Does that migration work well? I'm a glutton for punishment I guess. I prefer fresh installs with new drives.

Slicker 'n snot!

What's the pros and cons of them?

Pros:
* speed, especially seeking (increase normal use performance up to 100x and more, coping large files 3-10x)
* no noise, no vibration, less power, less heat
Cons (no longer actual):
* when they die, they do that instantly. But they do not die too often these days.
* they used to be small in size. But 2TB already exists.
* they was honorable expensive, but that is no longer true.
 
I will say that question is already at the level of "magnetic tapes vs HDD". Not that magnetic tapes have no use (they still do, if you need XX Petabytes backup) but no one will consider them for a desktop storage

2tb is still stupid money though..

I've mainly been waiting for prices to drop on them. It never fails that as soon as I spend $500 on the latest greatest whatever, 10 minutes later the price drops dramatically.
 
Still, almost $200 is a bit steep for 500gigs I think. We'll see though. It should be here today.

If you have no qualms about trying new untested ( in the consumer market) tech and are good with PCs...meaning making sure your MOBO boots to this thing you could try this. Much faster than even a typical SSD. Fits in the M2 slot of an X99 MOBO. I think there's a work around in using it as a C drive on some mother boards. I wouldn't jump without some knowledge of the mobo first to see if it would work.
