Hey all.
I need a little help picking a SSD for my notebook. It's a late 2011 15 inch MBP running 10.6.8 osx (this is required since some of the music software I use works best on this OS).
Currently I have a vertex 2 120gb drive in the notebook (self installed).
It's not a lot of storage and I would like to increase it. Around 500gb would probably be enough. I need enough space to be able to install large sample libraries like Kontakt 5 or similar. Some of these are like 50gb a library and my current drive just can't handle that for obvious reasons. I think that the total amount of music related software I have is about 400gb.
I wouldn't use the SSD for recording. I have an external disk I can use for that. The SSD would be used as the primary boot disk and all my applications would reside on it. There wouldn't really be much erasing/re-writing. Once the OS and applications were deployed the drive would be used almost like a read-only disk. Fairly static with not a lot of changes.
I'd like something that can equal the speed of my vertex 2 at minimum (I wouldn't complain if its faster of course), can last about 5 years as a read-only drive primarily (I would add stuff over time but it would be mostly applications) and hopefully with a 5 year warranty.
Help! Thank you.
