However I use PNY, Crucial, Kingston, Sandisk, HP, ADATA, & SK hynix (for the first time this year) SSDs for all my projects or retrofitting older PCs for CL. Whatever is on sale. I have not had an SSD fail in the last 5+ years (that I know of) and that makes for roughly 100 units from various retailers and brands. I do tend to buy the well reviewed and higher end models from each brand.
I do lean a little harder towards Crucial tho. Personal experience and bias.
Have not tried Seagate or WD SSDs yet.
I would recommend this model specifically.
Edit: also, it was $80 when I bought it last February or March.
From a performance, endurance perspective, I don't find the premium for Samsung worth it anymore as long as there is a SK Hynix alternative.

Crucial isn't that far off in endurance and may have a slightly better controller. They all fall in the same ssd tier

Just an fyi, you would have felt the difference in performance even with the crappiest SSD you could find. I remember getting a 60GB OCZ Vertex with 1/5th of the speed of this drive and it made my old laptop feel brand new.

Amazon won't match Newegg after-coupon prices which is why Newegg does this so much.

And if Amazon or BB won't match the sale price, there's often something else within a few dollars of price with no limits if I need more than 2-4.
Then there's times when you run into other weirdness, just today I was working on a system with an m.2 slot, I popped an 860 EVO in there and the system was like, NOPE. Did some research and discovered those systems will ONLY take an NVMe drive, not an m.2 SATA. Fortunately I had one from a previous SD I hadn't deployed yet, so I used that to upgrade it. Never a dull moment.
