    I usually look through a few reviews, both on computer journalism sites and forums for real world experiences.

    This one seems perfectly sufficient, especially for the price. Won't break any records, but it's not supposed to. It's better suited as a secondary storage drive though, there are better options out there in terms of an SSD to install your OS to, specifically ones with some DRAM cache and a higher TBW.

      TBH currently I am on a cheap SATA SSD and I don't feed bottlenecked at all despite the OS being installed on it. Will just go with this one.
