If you’re running it off sata get the cheapest one you can find that has cache and you’ll be fine.  With nvme it’s slightly more complex.  With nvme on Pcie 4.0 there is a “best” option larger than the pcie 3 options.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

The thing with Samsung drives is that they're the most trusted brand in SSDs, so they tend to get overpriced by retailers.There are SSDs from other brands that are as good on the market.

 

It also depends on what you're going to use the drive for. If it's an OS drive I'd go for something a bit faster (with DRAM cache ofc), like the SiliconPower drive (the A80 I believe) I have in my PC, or a Sabrent Rocket. If you're running X570 and you have a bit extra to spend, you could also go for a PCIe 4 drive, but right now the benefits of a drive like that are limited for a standard gaming PC.

 

If it's a Game drive or something like that, I'd go for a cheaper Chinese DRAM-less SSD, like a KingSpec or Kingchuxing. These SSDs aren't OS drive fast, but they're good enough for loading into games in a few seconds (rather than a 30 seconds on a HDD). If you buy from Aliexpress, you'd probably save 20-30% compared to a branded SSD from Amazon.

If you're going to use an adapter like that for a boot drive, you should probably check if your motherboard will boot with an NVME drive like that.

Using an adapter like this, make certain that you get an NVMe drive. This won't support a SATA M.2 drive, only NVMe.

That’s a one pcie lane device.  It will be a LOT slower than fast nvme.  I don’t know what the speed difference is between sata6 and pcie3.0x1 but it may be not that great.  Argument for cheapest possible with cache.  The. Cache isn’t about speed it’s about longevity.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

Seems like 4X to me.

Might be.  Looks more like x1. They do look similar though.  It’s possible.  count the pins maybe. x4 slots are rarer than x 4 cards though.   Usually it’s just x1 and x16.  90% of the time it would have to go into a x16 slot which could play hob with a big graphics card.

How can i see if my motherboard is compatible? I've done some googling and most of what I've found is "Put it in and see if it comes up". This won't be a boot drive. It will be a dive for all my videos and some extra games. I've got a 237gb m.2 as my boot. I need to get both a good pcie adapter and an NVME drive (Also a heatsink because it's going under my graphics card )

It's a x4 card, x1 cards are shorter. It also says x4 on the card itself.

Then it's fine. I'd probably go for a cheaper DRAM-less SSD in your case to save some money.
