Don't go for super cheap SSD's as the write threshold will be low. I would look at Samsung for SSD's for performance or Kioxia (Toshiba) SSD's for price. As regards the carrier I would look at Sonnet or Highpoint. Bear in mind that the commercial sweet spot for SSD's is 1 or 2 TByte.
Thanks everybody for your feedback.
Is there any data available regarding reliability of SATA vs. SSD ?
I do know that one of our clients (datacenter) was constantly having failures with OCZ. They replaced them with Samsungs and had far better reliability. I don't know if OCZ still has issues, for our own, we use Samsung and they've been pretty good, but they do seem to fail more than our spinning drives. However, that makes it sound worse than it is, it's maybe one or two drive failures a year.
For my own personal use, as I have little money, I use Crucial, but that's for some towers that just get home use, the FreeBSD one using ZFS, and they've been fine, but that's been home use. So, for the moment, I would just echo Valeri and say Samsung is the one that my company and I have seen to be the longest lasting.
