The tray description notes it's a Gen3 NVMe M.2 sizes 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280, or 22110... so you can get just about anything and much cheaper than this Gen5. The thing is I can't find any Gen3's at 1TB probably because they stopped making them and moveed onto Gen4 but the Ubiquiti tray page suggest that should work. You should also be able to access that full 4TB but this thing isn't a computer in the traditional sense so I couldn't be certain, sometimes these appliance-like devices only have the capability to address so much space.
Some rough searching and recommendations... You're looking at a little over $100 or $200 depending on size:

I've been partial to name brands because losing a drive on your workstation is a miserable experience even if you're backing things up, but you could cheap out on this and see how you fair assuming you yank any important video off the thing immediately after an incident assuming you get a warning on drive failure or check in frequently to see if there's a problem. If you have the option, I'd leave 40% of the drive free since running an SSD at 100% capacity reduces it's lifespan AFAIK. Maybe that doesn't apply so much to video if the system is smart enough to carefully overwrites previous video chunks. IDK.
