What is the best ssd for small files?

Are there technologies that provide this? Which SSD companies provide better drives for small file operations? Even if the disk works worse with large files, it is fast with small ones. Of course, I know about 5000, 4000 disks with read and write speeds, but alas, for small files, for some reason they are not as fast.

For small files, see the IOPS parameter (the number of operations per second, the more the better and unfortunately more expensive)
Also, if the file size is very small (less than 4kb) , then look at the default file system sector size (for small disks) sector size 4kb but the internal sector of the disks can be 512b (the real state can be obtained based on painstaking write tests, and remember, ssd disks can have an internal intermediate write buffer, which can greatly increase the values ​​​​for synthetic tests but does not help in any way in real load)
Often people test and post their tests based on writing to a file, without thinking about what settings the disk is formatted with (and whether the sector number was aligned when the partition was created)
By setting the sector size of the file system to the same size, you can significantly increase the write speed for small files (but this can have a negative effect on working with large data blocks, since the internal controller may expect otherwise and optimize it incorrectly)
you will receive accurate data only on the basis of tests .
ps The choice of file system can greatly affect the result, for example, ntfs can store small files in MFAT and not in their sectors, completely killing all attempts at optimization.
