I have good ol 512gb A2000 kingston that my brother used and i use it now, it is on '97%' health judged by hd sentinel. Never had any problem with it.
I noticed 1tb price dropped in last few months and i am thinking on getting notorius Kingston NV2 1TB, i noticed that some people praise it and some hate it hard, because of QLC thingy and no dram?'
I have good understanding of other pc components but i am clueless in case of ssd's.

I would use this SSD only for windows installation+games, and i would fill like 50-60% it.

I have option to get Crucial P3 non plus variant too for 2 euro more and 2 year longer varranty. (5y)
 
The Crucial is PCIe 3.0 technology.

The NV2 is PCIe 4.0.

Might not matter in your particular case depending on motherboard you have.

Even then, it wouldn't matter much. Not much practical difference between 3.0 and 4.0.

Can you get anything by WD, Samsung, Intel?

Are you committed to M.2 form factor?

I got b450 tomahawk non max mobo, i think it supports 3.0 pcie? if thats what u mean.
Well those brands are kinda overpriced here, i can get some models from sillicone power for example like UD85 1tb.
Those 3 are kinda cheapest with good read/write speeds, there is other models from lexar and a-data but kinda slower speeds.
All i want from ssd is not to die on me for at least 5 years and not to have issues with that can break my system and make me reinstall windows on other drive. Gaming and windows install on it pretty much, nothing else.
