@mcc Personally, I stick with drives manufactured by the companies which make their own flash: Intel (Solidigm), Kioxia (Toshiba), Micron (Crucial), Samsung, SK Hynix, and Western Digital (SanDisk).
There’s some difference between vendors, mostly in the controller firmware. This mostly matters in “enterprise” drives rather than consumer drives.
The much bigger difference is whether the drive has DRAM cache or not. In general, drives with DRAM have much higher random I/O performance than drives without it, and random performance equates to perceived “snappiness”.
