Most VIs are less hassle than NI ones, but things have supposed to have improved with NI AAX plugins, I have no experience there. But NI deserve huge kudos for having AAX stuff in the market now. A huge confidence boost for their Pro Tools customers. I wish other VI vendors were there as well.
Instead of swapping VI software now I would start by focusing on cleaning up your system, getting it set up right and all things including Sandra working properly.
A SSD hybrid drive is not an SSD drive. I largely see the hybrids as a waste, if you want SSD performance get the real thing (and even then all SSD are not created equal, interms of reliability or performance. And understanding SSD write performance is very complex--not an issue for a sample drive however.).
