Post Body

Looking for a 1TB NVMe m.2 drive. I really only use this PC for gaming and occasional streaming.

I have one 970 EVO but it's only 256gb. There are two m.2 slots on my board and I'm looking for a 1TB to add to it. Ignore the other storages drives on the list, they are just ones I had laying around and going to throw them in for additional storage.

Considering the SanDisk Extreme PRO 1TB SSD 3D NAND PCIe NVME Gen 3 x4 M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Drive, which is on sale right now for $114. @microcenter

If not doing encoding, rendering, or stuff like that, are there better alternatives?
