Which SSD to choose for torrents?

Briefly: 400 Mbit incoming channel, you need an SSD-shnik just to completely embrace this channel and download a large volume in minutes. Worth WD Blue and more than 15mb / sec (~ 120mb) just can not stand it. It can be seen that the speed sometimes jumps a little higher and the problem is in a large number of small write operations and it is in the screw.
I am considering Kingston, it is the cheapest in this regard. But will it be enough to write with a large number of threads at a speed of 300 ++ Mbps or watch something from other manufacturers?
PS: Ubuntu + transmission qt (without additional settings), incoming channel 400Mbps = 200Mbps Skynet (Internet) + 100Mbps Internet (LAN) + 100Mbps Westhome (LAN) steering wheel all through route according to ip-subnets.
PS: I'm looking at 250GB, no more. you only need to download the kintz ... well, so fast;)

Formatted as advised by Artem , the result is better ... but my requests WD Blue will not pull. (left before format, right after iops format)

An inexpensive kingston will do.
Just keep in mind one thing - your write speed will be very high, at such speeds there will be no effect from TRIM at all, so if you do not take action, there will be degradation in write speed.
To avoid this, leave about 20-30% of the disk unallocated.
Well, configure the torrent so that the download of new torrents goes to the SSD, and after downloading, move it to the HDD, where they will be slowly distributed.
In principle, you can even refuse the SSD in this case - just download to one disk, and after downloading for distribution, move it to another. The recording is in fairly large blocks. There the cache works effectively for writing.
The load on the disk arises precisely from the huge number of random reads.
With a channel speed of 400 megabits, there will be a write speed of about 50 megabytes / s, and a regular screw can handle it.

I suggest a feint with your ears :-) 32+ GB of RAM and a RAM disk for downloads. Download the file there, look from there for the first time, and then quietly and calmly dump it on your hard drive at midnight.

SDD has a limited number of rewrite cycles, with such a load it will not live long.

Guys, I'll update my question with more information. We are not talking about the fact that there will be a load on downloading or distribution around the clock. I download what I want to watch and throw away (transfer to another screw for storage), moreover, in good quality from 20GB. Now the problem is not only with the incoming speed, but also with viewing. If, God forbid, some kind of movie is downloaded, then including viewing on another computer from a network drive of already finished material, the screw (WD Blue) just starts screaming: Brother, I don’t know how to do such tricks with eggs. Take it easy man!
I'm ready to consider the option a la reinde. There are 8 SATA holes in the mother, but is there a hint of a raid or do I need to buy something - I don’t know. Also I do not know, whether will suffice NOT the Enterprise of screws under solution of a problem of speed of record. If ordinary screws + reind - budget ten - twelve thousand

Take a NAS with RAID5 support and regular SATA drives. If you create a logical disk from 4-6 ordinary disks, then the write read speed will probably be quite suitable and the volume will be noticeably larger than with one SSD.
