I'm running low on storage and want to add a 2TB SSD dedicated to games. My system has a Gigabyte B650 Eagle AX motherboard with one unused M.2 slot, while the other two M.2 slots are already occupied. Does a gaming library benefit from an especially fast PCIe 5.0 drive, or would a more affordable PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD be perfectly adequate? I'm trying to avoid overspending and would appreciate suggestions for reliable budget-friendly models.

Your Gigabyte B650 Eagle AX has another M.2 slot available, so adding a 2TB NVMe drive is straightforward. Check the drive’s recommended heatsink setup and make sure the motherboard’s M.2 cover is installed if applicable. For a game library, a reasonably priced PCIe 4.0 model is the sensible choice; PCIe 5.0 would mostly be wasted money here.
