Music work station SSD?

Go to solution Solved by FlatScreenNinja,
Thank you I'll look into the Samsung evo mSATA

I'm planning on building a music work station for university but can't decide what SSD to use for my OS and few DAW's. Wondering if it's worth going for a PCIE or mSATA as ProTools can be sluggish if the drive is slow. The drive must be at least 150GB, but not sure which one to get?

I would recommend the Samsung 850 Evo (size is up to you) However If you want to go all out then there is only the 1.2tb Intel 750 series PCI SSD

Or alternatively http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-BX100-2-5-Inch-Internal-Solid/dp/B00RQA6TEI/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1438719901&sr=8-6&keywords=SSD

 

Also No SSD is slow TBH so a normal one would be fine. But samsung also make the 850 evo in msata
