If you are looking for a daily drive and not trying to set any speed records, the gang over at Mad Shrimps say the Patriot Memory P200 should suit your needs just fine.
Since we are dealing with a TLC NAND drive, we will observe drops in write performance after the SLC buffer has been filled up, but this will only happen if we do write very large files at once onto it. The SSD drives, especially the 2.5’’ form factors are really cheap nowadays and if 512GB is not enough for the current tasks, we can go ahead and choose either the 1TB or 2TB versions of the product.
