What size are these at that price?

The only other well known brand I have personally used at that price point is the Crucial P3 Plus 500GB M.2. I have them as OS drive in two systems here at the house and a couple of builds for others and have had no issues from them. I really don't know all the tech specs, so apologies if not the type you are looking for. Price seems to be sub $41, although I was buying them for ~$23 back a year or so when storage got so cheap.

nv2, nv3, ill be using the NVME one, and for these 2, it'll be around 500gb, this is the cheapest I could find that also supports pcie 4.0

Silicone Power 500gb m2. Oops Gen 3... Look for Gen 4 drives. Also reasonably priced and fairly quick. I have a 2TB NVme external USB drive. Tiny little thing.
