Hi all. I'm out of the loop and havent really got a clue about storage drives these days.

My mobo is this one

What's the best bang for buck SSD I should be looking at? 1tb in size, looking to use it for storing and running games mostly

Thanks

Thanks for the replies. Somewhere around £80-90 would be fine.

Is NVMe the thing to have? My board has an m2 port is that what's needed? Sorry excuse my ignorance on the matter

So the Blue Sabrent one is the one to go for and my motherboard supports it etc? In the top slot I guess.

Theres a Q variant too i see?

Thanks!

What about a heatsink? Never knew that was a thing, are they needed really for normal day to day users?
