If you are in the market for NVMe SSDs, there are a few great deals to be had. For example, the 4TB Lexar NM1090 PRO PCIe Gen5 drive is an excellent option as it is on sale for just $360. If you want even higher capacity but don"t mind slightly slower speeds, then the 8TB WD_BLACK SN850X PCIe 4.0 SSD is another great option, as you get plenty of good speed for just $540.
Aside from those, Micron is also offering its Crucial P310 2280 SSD at its lowest ever price of just $230 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The discount is on the heatsink model which means you save another $10 or so, as you won"t need to purchase a separate heatspreader.
The major drawback of the P310 compared to the SN850X and NM1090 PRO is that the former comes with QLC NAND as opposed to TLC on the two other models. As such you get much lower drive endurance which means this SSD is not the most appropriate one if you are looking to carry out heavy disk transfer tasks fairly often.
