What mid-range nvme should i go for a B660 asus rog strix+12700 build?
Something not very expensive ,but also not on the cheap side.

There's a good deal on Samsung 980 Pro with cashback that ends today. Puts it in line with many midrange drives price wise.

What's your use case? Gaming?

For most uses, the SA570 or SN770 (or SN750 SE) are plenty sufficient and can be found pretty cheap. OCUK have an offer on the SA510 500GB, for £40 which I'd personally consider suitable for a boot drive, because it has DRAM and I find proven old SATA drives fairly reliable for this.

Crucial P2 and Kingston NV2 are cheaper, but likely to be QLC, so I'm inclined to avoid them.

Gaming...some android emulators..a bit of coding.

If you're buying today then 1TB 980 Pro is a great deal after cashback and your system is modern enough to support PCIE.

The 2TB 980 Pro was a great deal after cashback but think its out of stock.

Samsung cashback is very easy to claim and pay back. I grabbed a 2TB 980 Pro.

i got the 980 pro for the moment,but overclockers was not on the participating retailers list.I hope is ok as i read they have some issues.

What would be the best option for OS system drive?
