SSD HD Options / What To Buy

Hey Gang

 I just upgraded my DJ rig. Long gone are the CDJ 800mkIIs and in there place is a set of XDJ 1000s. I really love these players so far and I don't miss CD's one bit.

 I have been converting my vinyl collection for years and would like a sizable HD to store my music. I convert to 24bit WAV so size will matter. 

 

 The HD that I have my eye on is the new Sandisk Extreme 500 Portable SSD (480GB) Anybody have experience with this drive?

 Any other specific drive that you would recommend?

 

Thanks!

I have heard good things about the Samsung drives, but I also have a Monster 256 SSD and it's great!  SSD seem to be a better world then the "old" standard external drives as far as quality and issues go.

There are a ton of sales on right now for SSDs, you can pick up 1TB for as little as $350. While I steer users clear of Sandisk for their USB drives, their SSDs are decent enough and will do the trick. Personally, I prefer Samsung and Crucial drives - while slightly more expensive than the average (and not as expensive as Intel), they pack great speed & quality, as well as 3-5 year warranties.
