What should I get? I don't need a 990pro or the latest and fastest as it will be bottle necked.
Whatever is cheapest TBH. You might want to avoid QLC if you're likely to hit it with heavy writes.
What capacity are you looking at?
No many great deals around currently if you need to buy right now, high end at £100 ish is the Kingston Fury, total overkill but all you're going to save is £20 by going for a QLC drive like the WD Green SN350 or Crucial P3.
i have the same requirement, and I have two rule:
1. techpowerup reviews for sustained writes (fill whole drive).
2. be considered to have low-power and good thermal.
anything that can sustain an average of 1.5GB/s for 2TB at storage at <8W is a winner.

SK hynix Platinum P41 2 TB Review - Faster than Samsung and WD
The SK Hynix P41 offers amazing performance thanks to a new PCI-Express 4.0 compatible controller. In our Hynix Platinum P41 review we find that this drive is faster than Samsung 980 Pro and WD Black SN850. Thanks to an energy efficient design, there is no thermal throttling, even without heatsink.www.techpowerup.com
