That depends on your budget really. Samsung usually got pretty good speed but I'm not touching them for RMA support reasons. I'm running a SN550 1TB as my Steam drive, it's decent but I don't really notice the speed increase. In my uneducated opinion, I would look for something with fast read since games are pretty much read only after you installed them.

I run a bunch of Adata but you have to be careful cause they like to change out parts on their SSD and not tell you, but really any decent nvme drive will be just fine with the speeds they have, imho

I have been buying the WD-black drives.

SSD for OS is a must, but I'm more than happy to put my games on a WD Black spinner.

WD-Black is a line of NVMe ssds as well not just spinners

1TB example

Western Digital WD_BLACK SN770 NVMe M.2 PCI-E 4.0 SSD, 1TB - M.2 Solid State Drives - Memory Express Inc.

www.memoryexpress.com

The 1TB models are almost always on sale around the 100-120 range

WD Black SN770 review is a bit all over the place. It's DRAM less and Storagereview basically complain it's no different from a Blue SN750.
