How to choose an SSD for a laptop (see addendum)?

Question

Iron

Is it possible to take a used SSD (for a laptop) or on an alik, or is it generally better to buy a new one from well-known companies but overpay a lot?

Answer 1

It is not worth taking a used one because of possible reliability problems. On alik, too, it may turn out to be slow or unreliable. So better than a new one from well-known companies (OCZ, Samsung, Intel, Kingston...)

Answer 2

Look at the rating on different platforms. Check the matches and get the same SSD

Answer 3

If you are ready to deal with sending SSDs back to sellers, as they do not correspond to the declared characteristics, then you can try on ALI.
But I would advise you to pay attention to the promotions that take place before the holidays on Amazon. On Western resources, they are most often honest (unlike local ones)
From the resources for selection and verification, I want to advise:
1) SSD Boss - where you can compare different drives in terms of characteristics
2) Read reviews from users who have already purchased an SSD in various stores (including and on ALI)

3) A utility for testing SSD drives by analogy with CPU-Z and GPU-Z - SSD-Z
