good friend
One of the cheapest solid state drives in the classic 2.5-inch form factor is Patriot Blast, built on a combination of a Phison S10 controller and Toshiba TLC flash memory chips. Due to the low cost, now this bundle is found in the vast majority of entry-level SSDs from different manufacturers - Kingston, Goodram, Apacer, etc.
At the limit
The sequential data write speed of the Patriot Blast, regardless of the size of the disk, is the same - 560 MB / s, which is almost the peak throughput of the SATA III interface. The write speed may differ: in the 120 GB version it is 425 MB / s, while in the 240 GB and more capacious - 530-540 MB / s. The speed limit is exclusively software (at the controller firmware level), in order to push the buyer to choose a more capacious, and therefore expensive, version.
Double edged stick
The Patriot Blast has only one drawback and it is a consequence of the use of cheap TLC flash memory. As many as three bits of data are stored in each cell of this memory, and therefore the cells wear out quickly (only 1000 rewrite cycles), after which they are tightly blocked by the controller. As a result, the drive gradually "loses weight" in volume. Fortunately, the modern Phison S10 controller, to the best of its ability, regularly cleans up software "garbage", thanks to which the disk will work for five years with average use.
As a result, we can recommend Patriot Blast to those who do not spend much time on the PC and want to get a performance boost at the lowest cost.
