[kwlug-disc] Need a new SSD ...

My laptop's SSD is starting to report errors.
Every day for the past few days there are these errors:

Device: /dev/sda [SAT], 1 Offline uncorrectable sectors
Device: /dev/sda [SAT], 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors

The device is: OSSD256GBTSS2, FW:S1022A0, 256 GB

Then upon rebooting, I see failed commands in dmesg.

Since I am only using ~ 50GB, that capacity is sufficient.

Looking at what is on sale now, I see:

WD Blue

Kingston

Which of these will be more reliable?
