Samsung 980 Pro 500 GB PCIe 4.0 SSD: Was $150, Now $120
Samsung's 980 Pro is the Korean manufacturer's go at a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD to make use of the extreme bandwidth, and its 500 GB variant is now cheaper than ever.
Of course, for the same money, it's not difficult to find 1TB PCIe 3.0 SSDs, but these are about half as fast, so you'll have to decide for yourself what's more important to you. If you don't mind using two SSDs though, the vast majority of boards come with two or more M.2 slots, so you could opt to use this as your main drive with another for less important storage.
