I need a temporary 256 and 512GB SSD for doing some work on an OS install for a few months before I move them to better and larger drives, so I was trying to find the cheapest options that were still a name brand. The ones I ran into were the Silicon Power AS5 and the TeamGroup AX2. Both are TLC drives with a SLC cache (or at least they claim) and no DRAM, and both are currently the same price on Amazon, $29 for the 512GB and $20 for the 256GB.

Is there any difference between these? Can anyone recommend one over the other for any reason? (Or maybe somewhere that has them cheaper?) Again, these are just going to be for temporary installs, I am not planning on keeping these as my main OS drive for years.
