Thinking to get 240gb... Using it for Google chrome, Microsoft words, excel, teams, zoom etc.. Ain't gonna game on it.. 240gb should be enough right Current hdd using crystal disk info Caution Reallocated sector 18 Unallocated 450 Restarted the laptop to run a second time, same reading.. Oh and which sales period have the best discount?

Latest generation of DRAM less ssds already closed the gap significantly. Majority of regular users will not feel the difference. There are significant cost savings for DRAM less designs I think.

You are another victim of Phison S11 controller firmware issue.

You are going to use the SSD on your work laptop, so it is NOT logical to save an insignificant amount yet end up in the same situation again; working drive corruption. No one is asking you to buy the most expensive one, just something more assuring like those listed below will do, no particular order.
Transcend SSD230S 512gb
Adata SU800 512gb
HP S700 Pro 512gb
Crucial MX500 500gb
Read up on the spec on these SSDs....... higher capacity will normally come with higher TBW rating, hence try to get 512gb or above if possible
