Table Base Cache Size question

[RJN]

a slightly offtopic quesiton: I'm thinking of buying a SSD for SyzygyBases. What specs should I take in consideration besides size of course?
I think IOPS value is important?

If you are going for a SATA SSD, I don't think it will matter too much, as most of the new SSDs have very good benchmarks. Any modern SSD will blow away even the best HDD. In my opinion, I would get a SSD big enough that can also be your main drive for the OS, etc, not just TBs.

I have a Sandisk Extreme 480, about a year old, and it is fantastic, no complaints. I could never go back to HDD as a system drive. When I do something now on my wife's machine with a HDD, it's painfully slow, the difference is that huge.

If I were to buy another one today, it would probably be the Samsung 840 EVO. It gets some good reviews:

Thank you!

I was indeed thinking of buying a Samsung 840 EVO.
