Default BDP-3 SSD suggestions

I am looking very seriously at the Bryston BDP-3 and am interested in suggestions for an internal SSD. I'll probably get something around 2TB. Is there anything in particular I should look for or consider??

Cleeds-

Good choice, I have been very happy with the BDP3.

As a Maximum PC reader, I chose a Samsung EVO SSD. It was well rated by MaxPC for speed and reliability at the time.

Crucial are also well regarded SSD's. A few years back, I replaced the drive in a MacBookPro with a 2 TB Micron a member here at A/A mentioned. It was about $100 less than the Samsung and has been fine as well.

Doing a search might bring up some internet chatter about specific SSD's for music.

Same recommendation here. I recently researched and went with the eVO SSD, which seemed quite good, but not crazy expensive.

Samsung 860 EVO 1tb for my BDP-2, which I purchased 18 months ago. It was pretty much the best one available.

It's interesting that all of the recommendations so far are for a Samsung SSD. Given that Samsung now owns Harman, perhaps Harman will introduce an "audiophile grade" SSD and put a Mark Levinson logo on it. I think I'll be fine with the Samsung, but I'd wager that a Levinson SSD would sell to some of us crazies.
