IMO the most important feature on an SSD is that it has enough backup power onboard to do an orderly shutdown if the PSU is unexpectedly shutdown by over temperature, PSU failure, or anything else that could create an unexpected shutdown. SSD's may become corrupted when they lose power unexpectedly if they don't have the circuitry and capacitors to handle it properly. I suspect the cheaper drives do not. More info:

Those articles are a little over a year old so things may have changed since then but it's a key feature to look for in an SSD.
