Neo Forza 480GB SATA 2.5" QLC $39.99. Not too bad, though I don't know that I would put an OS on a QLC drive. It's probably OK enough these days though, QLC is pretty mature tech. (I do like Intel 660p/670p QLC NVMe drives, for example.)
 
HP EX950 M.2 2280 2TB PCle Gen3 x4, NVMe1.3 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) 5MS24AA#ABC $177.99



These were solid drives from a few years back. Maybe these are new old stock, but more likely, they are some sort of revision, maybe with QLC this time around, given the price.

Damn...that's about what I paid for the 1TB version of that in 2019. No complaints about it...other than it doesn't come with any kind of software.

I own several Silicon Power SSDs and a couple of their NVMe drives and like them a lot. I have a couple of these 256GB drives in use at home and have used several in refurb builds. This is a great price if the storage capacity fits your needs.
