Looking for a M.2 nvme drive (specifically want one of these screw-ins instead of a regular sata because my system airflow is kind of awful and I don't want another wire) to run alongside my HDD and do heavy duty read/writing (game installs and load screens, lib installations on my linux vm, possibly some video editing). Not necessary to get high capacity, just high speed. Been doing some research and I'm unable to find anything for $50. I remember a few months ago I was researching this and I found drives for 50$ with good "magazine" reviews but bad user reviews and decided not to pull the trigger until I could research some more, and now I regret not writing down the models.
Current build:
Mobo ASRock b250 pro4
CPU: i3-6100
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
RAM: Crucial 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
PSU: EVGA 600W 80+ Bronze
Also, I really need the M.2 to stay within the "power budget". I'm really squeezed in here. I used to have a 500W but I burned through 2 in a week so I upgraded to this 600W and I don't want to go over that, although this calculator says my recommended wattage should only be 435. OK, the point is I just don't want a 50 watt drive.
