Cheap, but good Rep SSD?

Out of a bank of 20 computers I repurposed back in 2016... one of the solid state drives has finally failed it seems. (120gb Adata SP550)

 

Looking to order 2-4 more for spare backups so I can preload some images on them in case others start to fail. What are some good/cheap yet known to be "alright" SSD's these days? 120-240gb is perfect for how these machines are used. (They are 'frozen' with the base image and revert back to normal after every restart)

 

It seems like these days 120gb are fairly rare and might end up costing more than a 240gb, but figured I'd post here to see if anyone has any recommendations.

 

Thanks!

should do just fine.

Adatas got some 250gb drives for an extra 5$ and then Kingston also does for 18$ more

And

Are both good options

 

There is even a 60gb option, although it's not worth it, probably. Unless they only get up to 40gb or so.
