Comment on Cheap, but reliable SSDs?

I’ve got a couple machines running Kingston A400’s well over their rated spec, those are decently fast and start at about 30 euros

Kingston A400s and Crucial BXs have been very good as cheap SSDs in my experience.

I used to like the a400, had a few of them in service, but a few years ago I tried another one and it was terrible. Just… Slow… like an HDD. I did some research and apparently they changed something with the nand somewhere along the line. Did a bait and switch. I don’t remember the details but it annoyed me.
I actually needed to buy a budget SSD just today, and I got a BX500. We’ll see how it goes. I know not to expect much from a drive without DRAM, but at least I know that going in.

I was lucky then with the 4 A400 I’m still using. I also have 3 BX500 that have been very reliable.
