If you don’t need the built-in heatsink, take a look at the WD_BLACK SN770 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD. WD’s BLACK line is among the more popular options for gamers and this one starts from $45 with the 1TB solution going for $110. It’s not quite as fast and robust in terms of heat dispersion, but it will save you some cash and still deliver a reliable solid-state drive in the process.
