Hello,

 

I am searching for SSD and I can't decide between A400 (240GB) and UV400/500 (120GB). Is there any other SSD which is more reliable than these 2?

Those are budget options so I'd say whichever works better for your budget.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

They're both crap (my UV400 failed within a week of heavy use). Get a Crucial MX500 or Samsung 860 EVO instead.

The A400 is crap. My brother bought one and it weighed basically nothing. Performance isn't great either. I personally use the UV400 and think it's probably the best budget SSD you can buy, but that's just my opinion.

Thank you for response! I surely don't want to buy SSD that will fail within a week. :)

You want something in the middle of the price range, a Adata Su800, Crucial BX, WD blue ssd. Anything in that range is only few BurgerKing more expensive but somewhat better in terms of quality.
