Question Help spend my money. I want a 2TB m.2 SSD

[4745454b]

Looking to maybe buy a 2TB SSD. I have an X470 Aorus ultra gaming board, AMD 2600 CPU, 16GBs of ram and a 6700XT. I'm a bit worried about the m.2 slot being right under my GPU, So the heatsink can't be tall if it's there at all? I'm not looking for the greatest speed. It's only going to hold my steam folder. So once it's loaded up with games it won't see a lot of transfer use. I also don't have PCIe 4.0 so older 3.0 drives are fine. I'm looking at that WD black 2TB for $119, or the 980? Any other options I should get?

If you live near a microcenter how about this for 80 bucks?

If you were concerned about longevity you could get their 2 year replacement plan.

Not really near a MC. Not sure about inland either.

I ended up getting an HP 900pro? 2tb for just under $100. Looks like it should do the job.
