I'm in the market for a 2TB SSD and my budget is pretty tight—ideally under $130. Speed isn't a huge concern for me; I just need something affordable that gets the job done. I'm also open to buying second-hand or checking out links from eBay. Any recommendations?

You should definitely consider SATA SSDs. They're generally cheaper than NVMe options and still provide decent performance for most tasks.
You might want to check out the Netac NV7000, which is a budget-friendly option. You can find it on some sites; here's a link to it: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/mL7scf/netac-nv7000-t-2-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-nt01nv7000t-2t0-e4x.

I’ve heard that Netac and Fanxiang SSDs are good options, especially because they’re often cheaper. They’re Chinese made but tend to be reliable enough for casual use.
