500Gb nvme, need to order now, need input

Gohardgrandpa

Need to get a ssd for my buddies pc, he wants a nvme drive and 500Gb. The problem I’m having is it has to be shipped and sold by amazon because he has credit and can only use the credit on their items. 
From what I can find these look like the best options 

Wd blue sn550 500Gb $59 

Wd black sn750 500Gb $69

Pny CS3030 500Gb $69 

Crucial P1 500Gb $59

These are all in stock and will deliver tomorrow which I have to get it tomorrow before I leave town so I can install in his pc before I leave. 
 

The drive will be his C drive and hold Win 10 pro, cod modern warfare and siege. 
 

What drive would you get out of these options? 

No cpu mobo or ram atm

2tb wd black gen 4 nvme 

2tb seagate hdd

Corsair rm750x 

Be quiet 500dx 

Gigabyte m34wq 3440x1440

Xbox series x

Best to worst: SN750 - CS3030 - SN550 - P1.

I would go with one of the first two.

They are the same price, any reason to pick one over the other @minibois

Most important stats, Speed (read/write sequential), TBW and warranty (higher = better, with all),.

SN750: 3430MB/s - 2600MB/s - 300TBW - 5 years

CS3030: 3500MB/s - 2000MB/s - 800TBW - 5 years

 

So the WD is faster in write speeds, but the PNY has much higher TBW. I would personally go with the PNY CS3030, given the difference in speed is minimal (as in, not that noticeable), but the TBW could be a nice to have (although for most people would also be not noticeable, since 300TB is a looooot to write to a drive).

Both are still good options.
