Which external SSD for music streaming?


My new music streamer has a USB socket to connect an external Solid State Drive. I am thinking of getting one with 2 or 4 TB storage capacity to store my whole CD collection on it. What I don't know is how fast such an SSD needs to be. I was thinking of a Crucial X6 (up to 800 MB/s), or X9 (up to 1050MB/s). Or is any SSD fast enough to stream music smoothly? Thanks

The Samsung professional series is very good , crucial is decent all name brands 

are plenty fast enough. One thing I highly recommend get rid of the stock cable it comes with  I replaced them sonically they have far better conductors and isolation 

and after 75-100 hours of cable runin. Sound superior ,I would buy one before ripping anything for packet noise is Jitter ,at our audio club proved this , if you can  find a name brand Audio quest, or wire world , if not even a $15 cable on Amazon 

is night and day better built.
