I'm looking to buy a cheap SSD to revive an old laptop. After some search I narrowed my search to a Patriot Burst or a Samsung 860 evo/Crucial MX500.
Now, I'm not going to use it for gaming or write a lot on it. I'm going to give it to a friend that works on Excel and occasionally watch movies online. I want to be as durable as possible.
The problem is that while everyone of them has trim support, wear leveling, garbage collection, cache and even ecc, I'm not sure if Burst has S.M.A.R.T.
My questions are:

My questions are:
- does Patriot Burst support S.M.A.R.T?
- is it worth to go for a more expensive or shoud Burst work just fine for this needs?
