Don't buy this cheap SSDs for Cache

I bought a cheap BX500 from crucial and as I don't have enough ram I have to use the ssd for transcode.

 

The speed goes to 255Mb/s for no reason all the time, plex freezes, at some point. I thought my plex library was getting corrupted or something like that, but it's the SSD.

 

Have any of you encounter issues like this?

The BX500 is DRAM-less.
 
It has been widely noted by tech reviewers and youtubers that DRAM-less SSD should be avoided.
This was a leftover I got. I find the drive reading at times out if nowhere and can't find what is reading or writing to the drive.

Also I get this errors from plex all the time now.
