So I use my Aspire 3 A315-51 for just browsing, streaming videos and downloads but even with such light usage the HDD is unbearably slow. Looking to get an SSD for the boot drive, the cheapest 240gig options are WD green and Adata SU650. Please advice which one I should go for. Thanks in advance.

Neither,spend a few hundred more & get this which is much better Buy Online Crucial MX500 M.2 2280 250GB SATA III 3D NAND SSD CT250MX500SSD4 In India

P.S. Don't upgrade it anywhere/self except at acer authorized service centre or warranty will be void.

I think Kingston A400 is the best among cheap SSDs.

Yes but A400 240gb m2 ssd costs 2.5k which is not much less than 3.2k of MX500 m2 ssd which is much better.
