So I´ve been living under a rock and I´m very used to mechanical drives, at this point I´m not really sure if the difference in speed is abysmal between and SSD and a HD,

I know there´s a lot of people here that are used to SSDs, so I would like to know your experience with those models in terms of endurance/reliability since they´re the most common here atm, or maybe you could recommend something at that price rate, but I´m pretty sure It´s gonna be way more expensive. I always wanted resellers bring the OZC Arc 100 series by Toshiba at a fair price, but I´m dreaming.

From the list, the MSI Spatium S270 and the WD Blue SA510 are the only ones that give a 5 year warranty and the MSI one It´s transparent when It comes of what controller is using (Phison S11 from 2017). The other cheap models don´t even state which controller use, maybe Its the same?

I can´t even find the product page for the HP S650, maybe It´s just made for Latin America by some shady OEM so probably the worst choice.

I´m still very hesitant with SSDs but since Steam is leaving behind the old Operating Systems I might need one for Windows 10. Web browsers are getting way more heavier when It comes to opening too. So yeah...thanks in advance.

No giveaway because that will mess the whole purpose of this.

Patriot Burst Elite 240GB
Acer SA100 240/480GB
HP S650 240GB

I can't testify to the reliability of the models in your poll but I can say that the old Corsair Force LS SSD from around 2014 i've been using constantly as a windows boot drive is still running perfectly. It was considered a budget model back then.

It sounds like you are getting your first SSD so whatever you pick, I think you will notice a huge difference in speed especially if you install your OS on it.
