Sata ssd vs cheap nvme ssd

[kes2006]

So my 500gb Corsair force is almost full and I want more storage for games and I don’t want a harddrive because there slow and I like speed but is it worth it spending €10 more for a Kingston 1tb nvme ssd over an 1tb Samsung qvo ssd

probably not

The bigger question is whether a Samsung QVO is worth it. There are much better SATA SSDs available and in most countries they cost less. The Crucial MX500, WD Blue 3D and Sandisk Ultra 3D are all better SATA SSDs and cost less. Samsung PRO and EVO ranges are good SATA SSDs performance wise but their high price makes them a poor value against faster and cheaper budget NVMes like that Kingston you're looking at. The AData SU800 and Seagate BarraCuda 120 are also ok but I would generally go for the others if the price is the same or within a few dollars.
