My PC : Windows 10 Home
Dell Inspiron 3847, 64-bit, i3-4130, 3.40GHz, 2 Cores, 8GB Ram, 1T Internal HDD (850GB free), 6 x 2.0 USB and 2 x 3.0 USB ports
I'm planning on buying Superior Drummer 3 later this year. I see that many of you here are using external SSDs for your music projects. I've got plenty of unused space on my HDD but thought of getting an external SSD 3.0 USB just for SD3. I don't know enough about this stuff to know what I may be getting into here.
I believe there's no problem with data transfer speeds. Are there any problems with drive reliability/durability? Is the SSD going to just stop working in 2-3 years and all my music, along with SD3, is lost?

As 99% of product reviews usually relate to several days or weeks of usage, it's difficult to find long term testing and reliability reports on specific brands and models.
Further research turned up this: Are Solid State Drives / SSDs More Reliable Than HDDs?
Covers quite a bit, and leaves me a bit more trustful of SSDs - assuming I get a good product out of the box.
