So my brother has hinted that he is willing to get me a moderately high end Christmas present. And for my computer, the next thing to upgrade would be to add an SSD.

But which one.... 

 

I was thinking about this one... ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104552 )

But I don't know if there would be a better one for the money. I like that its reads and writes are relatively close and the colors would match my system great.

For about $10 more, you can double the capacity. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/sandisk-internal-hard-drive-sdssdhii480gg25

Thats a really good price, very tempting

Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Corsair H105, Gigabyte x570 Aorus Elite, Corsair Vengeance 32GB 3600MHz, EVGA RTX 3070Ti FTW3, Samsung 850 Pro / WD SN850 / OCZ Trion 150

 

ASUS MG279Q, Corsair Carbide 275R

I would ask for the 480gb one above, you can fit a ton of games on it and wont have to try and pick out which games you want faster load times on as much.

What are your reasoning for this?

nand quality, brand reputation, write cycles, and overall customer satisfaction relative to the price
