I cannot answer the question about the controller.
I can recommend the Samsung model M8 HN-M101MBB that you identified.
After some research, I bought one a few months ago for use in a
portable USB enclosure. It is the size required to fit in a Macbook
Pro, unlike some other 1 TB drives that are thicker. Its energy
usage and acoustic noise level are the lowest available for 1 TB. It
seems to get one of the highest customer feedback ratings on vendors'
websites such as Newegg and Amazon.
