Just be sure to backup your most important data to HDD. Cheap SSDs are
more prone to fail in general.
Over provisioning when formatting them isn't such a bad idea either.
My oldest is a Samsung 60G ... MLC, not sure the controller / DRAM
cache specs. $40 on a Christmas sale about 6 or 7 years ago. OS and
programs and I seldom actually write to it.
All subsequent -- HP, Crucial, Samsung -- though written to more
often, are also MLC SSDs, including the newest "cheap-o" $30 256G HP
700 series, dram-less and since revised from last year's MLC planar to
now equipped with 3D NAND.
Cheap 'n good, these days -- closest that seems to be -- is everybody
running to a Crucial non-300 series. Samsung is also close enough to
regular sales, for a few bucks more, to be worth giving Crucial a run
for the money. Should be a 3-year warrantee with either.
