I was looking for a drive other than HDDs to store my music files because HDDs make music sound bad. Then I acquired a Samsung Evo 850 and An Intel 530. I ripped a few CDs to the Evo and when I played the files The Evo, the results was disappointing. The Samsung was as noisy as are the HDDs. However, The intel drive was sounded noise free. So don't buy Samsung SSDs if you are an audiophile.
