Hi dep,
Apologies if this duplicates one of the other 40 odd posts in this thread...
Assumptions: You’re looking for a SATA 6 Gb/s SSD.
I use this to figure out hardware:
-
https://pcpartpicker.com/products/internal-hard-drive/#sort=ppgb&t=0&am…
-
https://www.harddrivebenchmark.net/ssd.html
- Amazon's reviews of your top picks
On PCPartPicker you can further filter on form factor and interface to remove
the M.2, notebook drives, SAS, etc.
If you comp supports it, M.2 (aka NVMe) is radically faster than a SATA 6 Gb/s
SSD.

Note: HDBM mixes both traditional SSDs and NVMe in to the SSD category, which
kinda makes it a pita.
Best,
Michael
