Hello, i'm looking for some SSD, which is at least 480GB to store some of my games and steam library. I don't care if it's SATA or M.2 I'm assuming that i don't need DRAM? Would something like Samsung 980 be fine, or i can possibly go for some cheap SATA with even higher capacity?

I've building a new system based on Z790 Aero motherboard . Any suggestions ?
