Aside from the endurance part, I don't think any particular "reputable" or not drives are more or less likely to fail. SSDs are basically a commodity these days. They're made from a controller, from one of about five companies who make controllers, NAND flash, from one of about five companies that make those, and optionally, DRAM, from one of around three companies that make that. Slap it together with the reference firmware, and you've got a SSD. So to think that a "reputable" company would make more reliable SSDs, when they're all thrown together from the same parts bin...
Of course, there are a couple companies who roll in-house controller designs, like Samsung and WD (and probably more I don't remember), but everyone else pulls from the same parts bin.

What makes an ssd mediocre?
Well, I'd be worried about reliability. But besides that, it's just a super basic SSD. SATA, No DRAM, etc. Nothing wrong with it if you trust its reliability.
How is it pointless? An ssd is an ssd and much better than a hard drive. Good storage drive for games and such.
Out of all the ssds I have installed in clients builds. This is like four or five hundred. The dramless ones failed most often

just a fun fact, the cheapest 2.5 inch 1T HDD is current about 50 dollars. why do they even bother making those crap when ssd can be hand for about 10 dollar more is beyond me.
Funny, I've also installed hundreds of different types of SSDs in builds and found the majority of them are very reliable outside of a few specific drives.
Glad to know you had better luck then me. I have done 42 rmas with team group on ssds lol. All dramless.
