So I decided to upgrade my storage by getting myself a nice 1tb SSD. However Im having trouble trying to figure out which one to get. Im fine with either PCIE, M.2, SATA however I think I would prefer to get a M.2 to save me from dealing with more cables. My main concern is reliability/longevity for the drive, if I do get an M.2 one I would be using a PCIE cooling device to ensure it stays cool. Thanks for your time.

For cheap SSDs from reputable manufacturers, Samsung is generally the popular choice. Crucial drives are good as well. I would personally stay away from Plextor.

Most users really won't stress a client SSD enough to see major issues. That's why even though Samsung has taken some short cuts in quality on paper, in practice, their drives remain well trusted and generally the most recommended choice. Now if you care about the intricacies of long term reliability and safety features instead of just raw initial performance specs, then some other drives start to become more appealing.

Best is a hard thing to define as how is that going to be determined ? Without a benchmark, just sitting down and using the box as you would normally , I doubt anyone could tell the difference between the best and worse performing units. The Samsung 850 or 960 Evo would be on my radar as well as the Plextor units with cooling.
