For your use-case, assuming you're not looking for bragging rights in performance benchmarks, I'd fully expect each of those drives to perform near identical in "real-world" uses. I'd opt for the cheapest 120(ish)GB SSD from a reputable brand.

Warranty will vary a bit, but at least from a reputable brand, you're looking at a minimum 3 years.

For that size and use, flip a coin.
Or whichever is cheapest. Or even available in that size.

i can say that the WD SSD drives seem to be reliable. i been running a WD blue 250GB SSD in an old laptop for a few months now with no issues

They're all well known brands.
And on an individual drive basis, reliability is not really a known factor.
If one of them had a 98.5% success rate after 4 years, but you got one of the 1.5%ers....oh well.

They're all comparable, honestly - you're not going to go wrong with any of them for your use case*. Kingston, Transcend, WD are reputable brands.

AData are another 'player' in the budget space, and I've had no issues with them.

*We could delve into the specs, benchmarks etc...... but it really doesn't matter for such a basic use-case.

one thing to also note about the WD SSD drives is that they started coming out with their own branded SSD drives after they bought out sandisk and they had some pretty reliable SSD drives in the past.
