YES.
Intel 5 series or Samsung 8 series. Everything else just doesn't have the same combo of reliability and speed.
I own a Intel 520 256gb on this laptop, and put a Samsung 830 256gb in my Imac.
Honesty, do not go for any other brands - this is in the grand scheme of things, new technology and the other brands just haven't got it right yet, and sammy and intel just keep getting better.
Always select "copy audio files to working project folder" in your daw and have that folder on the SSD. When you're done with a project migrate the folder to an external FW drive.
This way, you always get the speed benefits of the SSD and can have masiv cheap storage in secondary/external drives. I saw a huge (beyond the sum of part itself) increase in overall performance, including decreases in CPU usage.
If you are buying secondary drives always make sure they are at least 7200 RPM, if not the velociraptors at 10,000rpm, which will help cut down sample audition times.
I have my most commonly used romplers (omnisphere etc) on my OS drive as the latency jumping between presets is non existent, whereas on an external they can be up to 4/5 seconds.
