First, Never get used storage drive. 

Solidigm P44 Pro 1 TB - Top class Gen 4, currently on sale at Newegg, best option for current price. 

Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB - Also on sale right now, this is also top class Gen 4 drive.

TEAMGROUP Cardea Zero Z440 Graphene 1 TB - Decent budget Gen 4 drive. It's good for it's price as well.

A while ago I purchased a Samsung 970 evo plus 512gb and it's splendid! My motherboard has 2 slots, 1 pcie 4.0 x4 and 1 pcie 3.0 x4 m.2 slots, I have it on the pcie 4.0 one but I plan on putting it on the 3.0 one since it can't even saturate the 3.0, and I would like another one but 1tb, I'm not sure which to get since I see that many drives are rated for high speeds but the momment they're like 20% full it drops really low, or the random speeds are horrible, so I'm not sure what to go for. Im planning on getting another one for mass storage like games and big media but if the drive is better then my current one I'll use it as my windows boot drive (I'll be factory resetting it from usb so I don't mind swapping) My budget is around 40-75 USD and I don't mind getting used at all. The tasks I do don't call for crazy speeds since I mainly do 1440p editing, gaming, and occasional 3d modeling, but I'd love to have a snappy system and one that could last me for a while

Neither does this one. It's 60$, It's dramless gen 4 with entry level speeds, there are drives with Dram in same price range and with same speed and 5-10$ more and you are getting top class Gen 4 drives.

SN770 still has stellar reviews

Prices depend on region and sales, 980 was historically super expensive
