DOn't put s SATA based SSD in a computer unless you are forced into it. The SATA interface is a bottleneck. Those SSDs that are made to look like a disk are for retrofit into computers at had disks. It made the retrofit easy but the SATA interface "chokes" the performance. You can buy a PCIe/M2 cards for the same price as SATA.
SATA maxes out at 600MB/Sec (0.6GB/sec while PCIe runs at 4GB/Sec and for about the same price. The FLASH chips are the same but they removed the SATA interface anfd the plastic disk-shape housing Here is an example of storage for a Linux/EMC setup that is twice as fast as SATA and costs $25. www.newegg.com/hp-ex900-120gb... <https://www.newegg.com/hp-ex900-120gb/p/N82E16820326151?Description=m2%20pcie&cm_re=m2_pcie-_-20-326-151-_-Product> It is no longer worth putting spinning disks or SATA interfaces inside computers. That technology is still good for NAS and backup and for bulk storage of many TB of data. but not for the main storage in a computer. Not with prices at $25. Also, with WiFi now pushing 1Gb/Sec you can place all your storage on a NAS box. I keep my login directory on a server so the files and desktops of all the computers are the save. No need ever ever to move data.
