If you can provide us with the usage of the SSD, we can give you a more solid recommendation given the specs of SSDs can be confusing for example some have DRAM others don't. For instance i installed a Samsung 860 QVO for my PS4 Pro.

I'm gonna basically have a lot apps open at the same time, plus save a lot big files/images as a designer... so I need buttery smooth navigation and fast loads/write/read speeds... i already got the RAM department covered with 16GB.

Then go with the Samsung given that you will require good endurance and if possible a 1TB model.

bobo619 wroteIf read and write speed are a priority i don't recommend to go with SATA.
Buy an NVME drive instead as both read and write much mich higher. I bought an XPG SX8200 1Tb from mojitech with SLC caching for around 180$ with 3400MB/s read and 3000 MB/s write while Sata caps at around 550MB/s in both.
