Cheap no-name SSD

There a few no-name SSDs about now.
Kingspec, Kingdian, Drevo, Faspeed to name a few.

I was thinking of getting a 120GB (<£40) to breath a bit of life into a laptop. It's light office use only.

Any horror stories from these no-name manufacturers?

When you can get a Kingston or SanDisk for £44 - £46 why bother?

Not worth the risk for very minimal saving / higher chance of data loss / poor performance.

I must be getting old. I missed those when searching. Thanks.

Chinese junk, (I'm not suggesting that all things Chinese are junk).

Avoid like leprosy.
