If you are on a tight budget, the ADATA is a decent low price model with a 5 year warranty and a DRAM cache buffer. While perhaps not the fastest, it is plenty fast so that only a benchmark will note differences, not real life use.

The WD Blue also has a 5 year warranty but lacks a DRAM cache and costs more.

The Corsair Force is IMO the best of the four, but probably not worth the extra $22 for your use.

The Silicon Power is the only one of the four with only a 3 year warranty.

Despite the 3 year warranty is it a good SSD?

Apparently, the first source that I read was incorrect -- it does have a 5 year warranty. Reviews are generally good, although I have never used that brand. With SSDs if they last a week they generally last a long time. I still have an old Intel X25-M running. THIS review sounds fairly good and these guys are not easy on reviews.

I've used many dozens of models from my original Intel X25M when SSDs first came out to a Samsung 970 Pro NVMe 1TB in my latest build and they are all fast, even the early Intel just smoked by previous boot disk (a 4 disk RAID zero on an Adaptec controller using 15K rpm Raptors). My 970 M.2 is sitting next to a EVO 850 SATA machine and I cannot tell any difference.

Benchmarks don't necessarily mean that you can tell a difference unless you are really stressing the disk with high IOPS and high Q depths like servers would generate.
