Depends on what kind of performance you need. (And, if I'm understanding "queued TRIM" correctly as being different from TRIM as a more general thing, possibly also on whether there will be sufficiently frequent disk access to prevent the drive from having idle time to perform self-cleanup.) > The place I buy from has quite a limited amount of SSDs that fit what > I need, the only alternatives they have are a Kingston (that I don't > want) and a Crucial BX100 (that I know nothing about).

Not real-life experience, but The Tech Report did a detailed review of the BX100 and its sibling drive the MX100, and gave the BX100 a high recommendation; I believe it's their current most-recommended drive for its category. I would have no hesitation buying or recommending it for general use. https://techreport.com/review/27824/crucial-bx100-and-mx200-solid-state-drives-reviewed -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
