All firmware and components, including Samsung's world-renowned DRAM and NAND, are produced in-house, allowing end-to-end integration for quality you can trust. Each household may only recycle one of each type of product and will receive only one trade-up discount for each product type recycled. Internal" means the drive goes inside a desktop PC's or laptop's chassis, while "external" means it connects to a computer via a cable. In my early career, I worked as an editor of scholarly science books, and as an editor of "Dummies"-style computer guidebooks for Brady Books (now, BradyGames).

Most of our testing has shown that the average SATA drive tops out at roughly 500MBps to 550MBps; in sequential tasks, the real-world difference between the best SATA drive and a merely average one is pretty small. My latest template is about 300 tracks and loads 19GB into Vienna Ensemble, 13GB into Kontakt Server and 3-6 GB in Logic. And adding an internal SSD to an older PC as a new boot drive remains a great, cost-effective upgrade. Almost all SSDs nowadays conform to a 7mm thickness, but older laptops with SATA hard drives may have drive bays with as much as 9.

Also - worth noting that the way you all are talking about drive speeds have nothing to do with the speed that a sampler will read the information.

This formidable SSD provides further reliability with a refined ECC algorithm that enables a stable performance. The only people who might actually notice (or even be able to hit) that kind of sky-high throughput on a sustained basis are those transferring enormous files between two PCIe 4. Some laptops, note, have the storage chips soldered down to the mainboard and aren't upgradable at all.QVO gives enhanced optimized performance and proven reliability, which makes it an ideal solution for general users who require terabyte capacity SSDs with improved everyday computing experiences.

If you decide to go this route you might consider creating an APFS 'container disk' (the APFS method for partitioning with some advantages) for samples. On the other hand, if the usage is limited, such as when only storing the OS of the personal computer, 250GB is enough. I don't know how many sample libraries he has but wondering if there growing practice of using internal drives for libraries.
