So recently I tried installing a Second NVMe drive to my current rig (WD Blue SN550 1TB) but it was a no go. Wasn't sure if it was DOA or if it just didn't want to cooperate with the already NVME OS that I had in there. I kept getting Error Code "06" on my Debug LED with my ASUS X570 mobo and even tried switching slots, resetting OC settings, and nothing. So now I'm in the market for a new nvme/ssd.
Currently I have to use amazon strictly since I did use gift cards. I was looking for something around 1 TB but 2 TB can work if the price is right.
I've checked out a lot of the current selections and some that pop out are the Sabrent nvme's but never tried them and also the obvious Samsung, Western Digital and Crucial selections.

What would you guys recommend? Never did mess with Crucial/Sabrent/Adata so any feedback on those would be nice. Keep in mind I'm mostly using this for just storage, games, and some videos and files.

Current Setup:
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X PBO'd
w/ Ryzen Wraith Spire Cooler
ASUS X570 Crosshair Hero VIII Motherboard (non Wi-Fi)
16GB DDR4 3200Mhz G.Skill Trident RGB Ram
EVGA GTX 1080 FTW Video card
Western Digital Blue SN500 500GB NVMe (OS)
Seasonic Focus GX-650W Power supply
