I have an older version Transcend SSD in my old main rig and I've had no problems for the few years I've had it.
I helped a friend of mine pick out parts for a rig for him and his photographer wife. I thought 16 gb memory would be enough but she can use it all up. You may be better off getting 32 gb.
Valid point. Luckily this MB has the 4 memory slots, so I will just stick in another 16 GB, if I see that I need. I was trying to keep the initial cost down with the 16.
