Best Budget Options
In this list, we suggest the most notable budget NVMe SSDs. They would still do the job but don’t expect top-of-the-top performance in all of our suggestions in this list. They are a solid choice for most usage scenarios but might come with caveats. Still, they are worth considering options to leave behind the unnecessary cables.
Crucial P3
This is a budget option that will do the job. Although performance might be questionable occasionally, it is still a solid choice, considering the price.
Pros
- Budget-friendly
- 5-year warranty
Cons
- PCIe 3.0
- DRAM-less
Samsung 980
Samsung’s budget offer is one of the best options without breaking the bank. You can’t go wrong with this SSD, but the Samsung 970 EVO PLUS is also an alternative option.
Pros
- Performance over budget
- Samsung Magician
- Overall endurance
Cons
- PCIe 3.0
- DRAM-less
Kioxia Exceria G2 NVMe SSD
Kioxia is a brand that has Toshiba’s seal, so it is not a random player in the game. Kioxia’s NVMe SSD is one of the best of its kind, considering its low price.
Pros
- Performance considering its price
- Budget-friendly
Cons
- PCIe 3.0
- Better thermal performance would have been welcome
