Wanted to know what are the major drawbacks aside from no DRAM when buying a cheap 120GB SSD for boot up. I am talking about SSDs like:
  • EVM 128GB M.2 SSD
  • Ant Esports 690 Neo Pro 128GB M.2 SATA Internal SSD
  • Silicon Power A55 128GB M.2 Internal SSD
Would like to know if anyone has any experience using cheap SSDs like these and how they are holding up.
 
I've a few of the A55's in a 2.5" form factor, they've been pretty reliable outside of one being dead on arrival.

Power on time of 540 days, 13TB written, 92% health left.
 
It's fine if you don't use it for constant writing of large files and don't fill them up to the full capacity. They're still miles better than a HDD and still are a significant upgrade over them.
Can be used as an upgrade to old PCs.
