The very cheapest of the cheap. Nothing fancy although it does have an abnormally high amount negative reviews on Amazon.

It's OK, if you're looking for a good quality SSD though, I recommend the Samsung 850 EVO series

So 7 years later, I have one of these SSDs that I got from an IT company I used to work at.  It has almost 9000 hours, and 400TB written to the drive over its lifetime.  It was used for a ton of different things and now I just have games on it.  I cannot kill this thing.  It wont produce any errors and I thought it would die years ago.  Maybe I hit the silicon lottery with it but it has been incredibly reliable for what it is.  I even used it for Chia mining (crypto mining that uses drives instead of GPUs) trying to kill it for 2 years before I put it in my gaming rig lmao.

It’s sandforce SF2200 and some MLC NAND 

if the controller don't just die ( most of them did just die ) then it’s hard to kill MLC NAND ( as controller have wear leveling, and BCH 55 bits/512 Byte)
the only problem is it's not performance oriented, as it's dramless sata SSD.
