Ultimately the A400 is a low end SSD, but is decent enough, the HP isn't well renowned for quality. You'd just have to make sure your motherboard can take the relevant interface of...

My Mobo is https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B350-TOMAHAWK-ARCTIC.html . Would that work?

I pretty much just picked those 3 for the prices and since they were all around 500GB. What do you think about the TeamGroup M.2?

The TeamGroup one appears to be fine enough, don't know too much about it. Also not sure what price you would be paying for it? Just you might be able to find similar or better for the same or better price :)

Apparently its 42$, 25% off. Would it work with my motherboard? Ill keep checking out Pcpartpicker for similar deals

Unfortunately the B350 only takes PCIe interface M.2 SSDs

1 x M.2 port (Key M)
- Supports PCIe 3.0 x4 (RYZEN Series Processors) or PCIe 3.0 x2(AMD® Athlon™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics and A-series / Athlon™ X4 Processors) and SATA 6Gb/s

Which means the M.2s you linked are off limits, however the standard 2.5 SATA are perfectly fine still (as they obviously don't use an M.2 slot) and the 2 NVMe M.2s I linked above are also fine.

Generally the Crucial P1, Intel 660p and Samsung tend to be the most recommended M.2 NVMe SSDs.

Im leaning towards the Samsung 860. My case has 2 spots to mount an SSD, but im assuming i'll need to buy the mounting kit as well?
