I found this model a lot cheaper than any other SSDs with the same capacity.

 

Model: Transcend SSD220

 

What are your thoughts? Is this a good SSD? Thanks.

this is a lower class ssd. nothing special about it. would avoid if you don't have a backup, or if you transfer a lot of data. great for basic usage.

I am planning to use it for OS, game and streaming applications.

For basic usage such as storing the OS on it and some other basic programes on it, it will do the job just fine. Any SSD is better than a traditional mechanical spinning HDD.  

I see, thank you very much.
