Question NVME SSD and SSD Heatsink Advice Needed

[MasterYoda327]

I plan to build a new gaming PC (1440p or possibly 4K). It will be used for both gaming and drone video editing (4K capable drone) with a dual monitor setup. This PC will be used for both business and personal use. I plan to use a 2 TB NVME PCIE 5.0 X4 SSD for the operating system, my primary games ( FPS, RPG, and Point-and-click), and some video files for editing (dependent on their size). I plan to put my other games on a 2 or 4 TB SATA-based SSD and other video files, especially larger ones, on an HDD with at least 4 TB of space. I have selected possible NVME SSD candidates which are listed below:

 Crucial
• Crucial New 2024 T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD with Heatsink - Up to 14,500 MB/s - Game Ready - Internal Solid State Drive (PC) - +1mo Adobe CC - CT2000T705SSD5 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTS93WML?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1 )
• Crucial T700 W/Heatsink 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 5.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C3K2WRPV?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1 )

 Teamgroup
• TEAMGROUP T-Force GC PRO 2TB Graphene Heatsink DRAM SLC Cache 3D TLC NAND NVMe InnoGrit PCIe Gen5x4 M.2 2280 Gaming Internal SSD Read/Write 12500/11000 MB/s TM8FFL002T0C129 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D3LSZVDJ?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1 )

My questions are:
1. Would these listed SSDs work for my needs? (Open to alternative reliable brands and models)
2. If it is possible to save money by getting an SSD without a heatsink and buying an aftermarket heatsink, what brands or models of reliable aftermarket heatsinks would you recommend that can handle NVME SSDs running games, video editing tasks, and other demanding tasks?

Thanks in advance.

1| Either one but please be wary that some people have been reporting issues with their Crucial T05 drives.
2| You should look at drives without heatsinks(if your board has heatsinks on them due to board design) since tampering with them can and will void warranty. One example is removing the heatsink on a Samsung 990 Pro will void your warranty.
