How To Shop for an SSD (Composers, Audio, Virtual Instruments)
What is NVMe? M.2? SATA? How do I decide what to buy? Which brand is best? How fast does it need to be? Should I get an external enclosure? Here I ramble on about what I've learned. Feel free to comment if I said anything too ridiculous, BUT make sure you watch the whole video (even at 2x if you know all this stuff) because I did try to insert some caveats and talk about some obvious "elephants in the room" near the end. Cheers!
