Newegg has 2TB TEAMGROUP SLC Cache 3D NAND TLC Gen3x4 NVMe Internal SSD (MP33, TM8FP6002T0C101) + 32GB Team Group C171 USB 2.0 Flash Drive for $65.99. Shipping is free.
The Solidigm Gen4 SSD is rated 4.7 out of 5 stars on Amazon based on over 135 customer reviews.
Based on our research, past 2TB NVMe Gen3 drives have sold for around $65, while past 2TB NVMe Gen4 drives have sold in a range from $80 up to $120.
Some variables to consider when purchasing an SSD drive include: Gen3 versus Gen4, whether the SSDs cells are SLC/MLC/TLC/QLC, DRAM vs DRAMless, and the more commonly seen specs such as sustained read/write speeds, and TBW (terabytes written lifespan), closely related to warranty. And of course storage size of the SSD. You'll also want to pay attention to the brand. Has the company been around a long time and do they have a trusted reputation? What are the reviews like for each of these products? While we can't make the right choices for your particular situation, hopefully these bits of knowledge will allow you to make a better informed decision based on what you need in an SSD drive.
Gen3 will generally transfer up to maximum of 3500MB/s, while Gen4 drives can push over 7000MB/s.
A compatible SSD for the PS5 are a NVMe PCIe 4.0 drive with 5,500MB/second or faster sequential read speeds.
SLC refer to single level cells and store 1 bit per cell. MLC stores 2 bits per cell. TLC and QLC store 3 and 4 bits respectively. The more bits that can be stored result in a cheaper drive, but at the cost of endurance of the drive.
DRAM modules are typically designed to endure a large number of read and write cycles and if you seek an SSD with a higher write speed and longer lifespan, this is what you want, but it also costs a premium.
TBW (terabytes written) refers to the total amount of terabytes data that a Solid-State Drive (SSD) can write in its lifetime.

For those who are looking for a SSD in this listing that works well with the PS5, the NM790, MP44, and S70 Blade are all good options (that does the full PCIE Gen 4 speed); just make sure you get a heatsink for them

Lots of good deals I just wish there where more 4TB options. If my board had more NVME slots I would just get a few 2TB but still then your limited by the amount of PCIE lanes so one larger drive is better than a bunch.
Waiting for 670p go to 65 again - the QLC/TLC thing is no big deal as most likely you won't hit the tbw - and the diff in tbw is small.
Speed-wise, not much difference for end user either. But somehow people seem to prefer Samsung over intel in SSD - because Samsung sells for a premium?

670p is QLC.
Would rather pay $10 more for Samsung 970 Evo Plus
Generally you won't notice a difference unless you have a work load that will take advantage of the higher speeds. Most people don't.
That's also true for gen 3. I have a mix of mid tier gen 3, low and high end gen 4 and I usually have no idea what drive the game I'm playing is on. I can only tell if Im moving data around which is like 1% of my real life usage.
