I have about a dozen 120g mixed brands. All work fine. No failures of any kind. For ~$20 you can't go too wrong...

Samsung Evo 960 series drives are consistently getting excellent reviews in
the blogs for best general purpose SSDs... But they are generally a bit
more expensive than what people have been suggesting... Probably lends
itself to the point that "Even cheap ones are good enough."

For what it's worth... My laptop is currently sporting a 500GB Evo 960 SATA
SSD, and it's performing very well.

Michael-

I use $20 SSDs from Newegg and they work fine for general use. SSDs are
direct replacements for mechanical drives. For a low budget you can just
duct tape them in place if needed. Not a problem. You will be amazed at
how much faster they are.  Good luck.

Looked at Newegg. They have a huge selection of KingDian SSDs. Never heard
of KingDian. Are they any good? Many options I have no idea what is what.
That's what I get being out of the hardware game for over 10 years. No idea
what TLC or MLC or any of the other options are. Suggestions appreciated.
