I've used both Samsung and Intel SSDs and both brands have easily-findable 
Support/Toolbox software. I also have some super-cheap Pioneer 480gB SSDs 
but all of those are in external USB3 enclosures and I haven't done the 
search for software for those. I don't even know if the software, if it 
exists, would work for SATA drives that aren't directly connected. Guess I 
should find out some day.
