Don't know about audio work, but last holiday season, my wife and I replaced our
laptop HDDs with Samsung EVO 850 SSDs. They were on sale at the time, I think we paid
~US$120 each for 512GB drives.
I found some advice on the web re setting the "trim" function for the drives to
help them live longer.
But they're blazingly fast compared to HDDs. Debian on my i7/16GB RAM laptop comes up
to login screen in about 20 seconds. (I don't use suspend to disk or hibernate.)
I can't imagine them getting in the way of audio performance.

Hey hey,
I'm looking into buying an SSD for my system. Information I found is
sometimes
conflicting and I'm not up to date on all that. So...
Are there particular compatibility issues (in software/drivers) that I
must
take into account? From the hardware side: are there certain
models/series/vendors that have proved especially advantageous to
audio work?
My motherboard does offer SATA2 V3, otherwise I see no particular
hardware
restrictions.
I'd be grateful for some advice. If on some points there is nothing
particular
to consider that would be a sufficient answer in itself.
TIA and best wishes,
Jeanette
