What SSD should I buy? (lemmygrad.ml)

For context, my brother gave me Warhammer 40000: Space Marine 2 for my birthday, and it has to be installed on an SSD. When I installed it on my D: drive, which, is an HDD, the game froze a few seconds into the opening cutscene, but the sound kept playing. After looking up this problem online, I found out that the hardware requirements section on the game's store page says "SSD required".

Most any of them will work fine, for more information check here. So it's more a matter of budget, I'd focus on size, just making sure it's from a reliable brand(Kingston, adata, western digital, Samsung, I'm sure im forgetting some others) and that it has a DRAM controller(which should be the vast majority of them just keep on the lookout for ones that seem too cheap for their size). I'd only focus on speed if you deal on moving large files, such as movies or high res images or renders with some regularity. Otherwise for gaming I'd say size is the priority.

I saw people on Reddit complaining about reliability issues with Samsung drives when I was looking into this. No idea if the complaints have any basis in reality.

That could be, no brand is 100% reliable, could be a model, or a more systemic issue, either way, better keep away if you are unsure.
