I guess if you want a ssd with reliable data safety, it's best to stick to regular brands. Else, just for the sake of it, you can get one.
Like, I recently wanted a SSD just for normal storage, 500gb. Went with Crucial BX 500 as it was dirt cheap in BBD even when options like SP, EVM and other's existed. Just for an extra piece of mind if something goes bad in future.

Dont need for me at all as I always stay away from these cheapo brands but the inquiry was for a friend who also whatsapped me this deal asking if he should go for it!
Their Indian site lists just one shop in Dadar East, Mumbai which I suppose exists just to import stuff. I would be surprised if they ever replace a product.
Also, used to import Orico shop from AliExpress in the past and like other mass Chinese brands, they skip QC to cut costs, making it a lottery in terms of quality. Their enclosures at least always underperformed due to poor design and firmware.

Then it's all about the budget. If he can loosen his purse, you already know what's best. But if not or want to taste the waters before jumping in, then sure.
Just ensure that he does not have any crucial data on any of these drives.
I like Orico as a brand, they're one of the premium Chinese brands that got a boost through Aliexpress. Other such brands are Aukey and Ugreen.
Once upon a time, Deepcool and Anker were like them, before they became globally reputable.
When I mean premium, I also mean quality focused, something we don't see with the Indian rebranders like Consistent (lol), Dolgix, etc.
EVM is a level up from what I've seen, they've also been around the longest — I have seen DDR2 sticks with their branding.
It's easy to dismiss these smaller brands but they exist because the market has space for them. Some of them grow, like Deepcool and Zebronics, others stay how they are, like Orico and Mercury, and others become disliked over time, like Consistent (lol) and Geonix (double lol).
It's a little weird but we now have adults that grew up with fond memories of Mercury motherboards in their childhood systems, like how we have memories of "Intel Original" motherboards.
I sometimes work with people whose idea of a nostalgic video game system are those 1000-in-1 boxes when usually you'd think of the NES or Sega Genesis.
The world is getting weirder as we age.
