Right now at home, my pc have main ASUS Prime H510M-K and already use 1 m2 ssd slot, 1 hdd slot, only 2 sata slot left, M.2 is the WD green ssd 240Gb( just bought 3 months ago), hdd about 500Gb for storage ( about 4-5 years this hdd)
Well my gaming needs is not high, just average experience, like about a month ago i move 1 of my open game from hdd to ssd and it load faster and it improve the loading time alot so i just want to have another ssd with that similar amount of transfer data is enough.
I have try to look online in my local city and my local shop and they suggest alot but 80% brand i want like wd blue, kingston,... some of the middle branch not the top tier and always out of stock.
Currently, my local shop suggest me with Ssd 512G lexar about 100$, Ssd kingmax 100$, ssd new 512G color 92$ ( all new and have 3-year warranty ). But the thing it i heard alot of the news that price ssd has pump up alot so i want to ask some of the pros about the price and suggest a bugget ssd for my need.
Thanks!

As storage for games, even low-cost drives with QLC flash are fine. You did not specifiy the model number, but the Colorful drive might even have TLC flash. There is no reason not to get it.

If you are ok with a sata ssd, you can find 1tb versions for a little over $100.
For example:

Unfortunate time for storage upgrading rn, but if you are willing to spend this much for this little capacity, then perhaps skipping 512GB entirely and going straight for a 1TB NVMe SSD, selling the replaced parts to recoup some of the cost, would be for the better.

i mean i just bough the m2 just about 3 month ago there is no reason to remove it? and others 3 slot is for sata so the nvme is not the ideal for me rn
