You will quickly find that a 120GB drive is running out of space.

As far as second rate? Well, thats what those are.
In the SATA SSD world, slow, at best.

For instance..the WD Green, in many uses, is really no better than an HDD.

What IS your budget? $20-$40?
Buying where?

there are so many "pulled" nearly new 128GB SSDs for sale on ebay under 20 bucks. Often pulled from brand new device for immediate upgrade as new. At that price range, I wouldn't worry about warranty coverage. Look for big names like Kioxia, WD, Micron, Samsung, Hynix, Lite-on

It's your budget and you have to stay within it.
The 120GB will work just be prepared to keep an eye on disk space used and doing some regular house cleaning.

exactly... when the OP sets boundary conditions in the question, why not stick to them and suggest best solution within?
Suggesting to spend a bit more is an easy answer. Not necessarily a good/useful answer.
120GB is fine for OS only drive.

Often, the full boundary is not known until later.
Using "$20-$40" and Amazon.com, one would think USA.

There, a 500GB drive that was only $3 over that $40 was a MUCH better buy.
Then, a 250GB that was under the $40.

Only later do we have an inkling that it is not a USA purchase.

no i just wanted to show the ssd. im living in iran so CUSTOMS will apply to every single thing that is coming from another country so yeah prices are not ideal in this country. for example if im buying an 20$ ssd from amazon ar ebay or wherever that is not in my own country will be customs applied to 60 70$ in usd ofc millions in IR rial, i mean $ is 25000x more than a IR rial.

Fair enuff.

So what IS available, in your market, at 250GB?
I really really dislike buying a 120GB drive today.
