What's your max budget?

 

Crucial MX500 and 300 SSDs tend to be pretty good bang for buck.

I would take the Kingston over the Adata personally. No real reason, but I've heard more about Kingston than Adata.

Unfortunately not, most of the better quality SSDs don't go below $50-60

Note that this would be correct in terms of price to performance of the drive and not the longevity.

I would agree with this, higher quality solid state drives which are rated to withstand higher write demands do cost scientifically more in most cases and that price range (50 to 60 dollars) for a high-quality SSD with this amount of storage capacity seems to be around right. Some solid state drives can be more than double the cost of other SSDs with similar storage size so it really depends how important reliability is for you and your use case for the drive. I know some drives in that price range although they may not be as good when it comes to performance when compared to ones which you mentioned. I would be able to list some drives with higher reliability although slower performance possibly if you would like (note that these will not be the best in the price to performance category of measurement). In the end, it really depends (based on your budget) if reliability or performance is more important to you and the data you plan to store on the drive. For example, if you are storing only an OS on it or other not extremely important files then the reliability of the drive would not be as important than if you planned to store important files on the drive.
