If you're a Windows user both Crucial and Samsung have free SSD
management software that gives a boost to your system's speed. When
enabled it sets aside unused RAM - similar to the DOS Ramdisk except is
automatic not manual (if you're old enough to remember DOS 😁). Since
RAM writes faster than the SSD, data is written to RAM so the processor
can move on to other tasks, then transferred in the background to the
SSD. The downside is, since RAM is volitile, if you lose power and
don't have a battery backup whatever hasn't been written to the SSD is lost.
Crucial calls theirs Storage Executive. Samsung's is called Magician.
Both have a module that performs this function.

Before purchase I compared reviews of Crucial and Samsung SSD's but
it looks there is no consensus which is better.
I decided to go for the slightly more expensive Samsung because their
dedicated cloning software is for true dummies...

I have three Macs running with Crucial SSDs, some of them for years and
with loads of data (one of them a 2009 Mac Mini with two USB satellite
tuners recording gigabytes of TV programmes) and never had the slightest
problem with them.
This is not to say that other drives aren't good. Just my three
eurocents.

Sooner or later "different" scares people.
