SSD recommendation needed

Hello

I need a new SSD for my laptop (i5 4200U GTX 750M, 8GB RAM). I'll probably get something like a 250GB SSD. I could use my Samsung 750 Evo I already have in my main PC in my laptop and get a new 256GB SSD (maybe even a NVMe one if it is worth it) for my main PC. The Samsung 750 Evo isn't the greatest SSD but I have no problem with it. The other solution would be to buy a new "cheaper" (but not bad) SSD for the laptop. What SSD would you recommend to me?

These have a pretty good value: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/7v38TW/pny-internal-hard-drive-ssd7cs1311240rb

Compared to your 750 Evo though, its almost exactly the same. I would just use your old Samsung 750 Evo and then buy a new SSD for your main rig.
