Many consumer tablet and laptop SSD use the same chip technology as used internally in USB sticks and SD cards. Even some SATA SSD are the same technology of Flash.
Unless you are paying very serious money a 500 Gbyte 5400 RPM WD "Black" drive is longer life and faster sequential write and read. The cheap SSD only "win" on small random reads and almost all SSD / Flash can die completely without warning. Often SMART gives advance warning on HDD, and even then much can be recovered. A 1T HDD is next best option. Avoid HAMR and Shingled drives.
