Best budget NVMe ssd m.2?

Hello,

what is currently the best budget NVMe ssd m.2? I have a PCIe 3.0 mainboard.

Thank you.

The cheap SSDs are hard to call, because they swap controllers and the flash memory, so you can't really trust the reviews.

I'd suggest you look at WD's SN570 or Samsung 980 non-Pro, which have decent endurance ratings, are guaranteed TLC and have a 5 year warranty.

I sense another opportunity to simp for the TeamGroup MP33/MP33 Pro and MP34. I've got the 128 and 256GB versions of the MP33 as well as a 4TB MP34 and I have nothing but praise for them. They're all dirt cheap for the capacity you get, and the endurance on all of them is usually a healthy bit higher than anything else for the same price (my 4TB drive as a rated endurance of 2.4 petabytes). They may not be the fastest things in the world, but realistically you don't need some meme SSD that gets 6,900MB/s.
