Browsing through Amazon when I landed on this: the SAMSUNG 870 QVO. Wouldn’t it be cool (and yes, overkill) if we could pop this baby in our MPCs?

I would consider myself to have a large sample library consisting of 300 GB, so I haven't run into any storage issues. Also, I've read from various sources (MPC Tutor, Sound on Sound, etc.) that the maximum storage size for the drive in the MPC is 2TB.

Are there any SSDs faster than 560Mbps? When I was shopping on Amazon they all seemed to be the same speed so the only "quality" difference is brand preference.
