I usually pick the cheapest of a brand I trust. Kingston atm for my ssds.
Don't care, even the crappiest is way faster than what I need plus less energy hungry than mechanicals.
I focus on size, buy the biggest I can afford according to the raid level I need. Currently have 4 x 4Tb Kingston ssds in RAID5.
Edit: don't buy ssds on aliexpress, don't go that cheap.... Go cheap like buy consumer level stuff not server grade stuff, but still from reputable sellers and brands.
Yeah, would be great to buy server grade stuff, but I don't have a server grade budget.
SSD isn't necessarily less energy hungry than spinning platter.
It really depends on the specific units and use patterns.
Generally SSD has better idle power, and HD has better read and write power, but that doesn't even always hold true.
If your device sits idle long enough, SSD is better for power, but the write time to get to idle could easily consume the power differential.

Very interesting, thanks...
At least ssds are much less hot and lot quieter than mechanical drives, and in a home, not chilled, and not isolated environment means even more than power consumption to me.
Edit: my 4 x 4tb ssds anyway are much less power hungry than the 2x6Tb spinning drives they replaced, so much that my overall server consumption dropped significantly in my home assistant readings (via ZigBee power meter).
Good to know, thanks!
