I'm looking for an inexpensive 2.5" ssd drive to throw in an external enclosure and install games and portable programs to so I can easy migrate between computers. Just curious if anyone has any experience with these cheaper brands on ebay and what I can expect with speed and life expectancy. While I don't plan on storing anything vital and unrecoverable to the drive, still always a frustration if one burns out at just the most inconvenient time. Also, it's not a *huge* rush, so a followup question would be if I'm likely to see something brand name with a similar price range come black Friday time. Thanks for any input.
 
If you don't care about the data, go for it. Amazon, a 1TB SATA SSD (PNY for example) starts about $50. An absolute shitbox no-name on Ebay from Xianxang 1TB SATA SSD is like $44. Personally, I would spend the extra $6.
 
Yeah it would be one thing to save 25% or a couple hundred bucks for higher value items , but for something that’s mechanically complex, stores data and less than $75 makes no sense to go off brand.
