I'm looking to buy an SSD for my gaming PC and need some advice. I want one with at least 2 TB of storage, good performance, and preferably priced under $70. I've seen a lot of mixed reviews about different models. Can anyone suggest a solid choice?

You're likely to get more longevity from a better SSD, especially for gaming. Brands like Samsung and Crucial are solid options to check out. If you're open to secondhand options, you might find a good deal from a reputable seller that fits your budget.
If you're really set on that budget, you might want to reconsider your price range. Finding a reliable 2TB SSD for under $70 is going to be pretty tough. I'd recommend either looking for sales or maybe considering a model with smaller storage if your budget is strict. Otherwise, look for SSDs with great reviews and specs, maybe a PCIe Gen 4 or 5. Even PCIe 3 isn’t bad performance-wise for gaming.
Honestly, with prices going up, finding a decent 2TB for $70 is getting harder. You might have to double that amount for a good quality drive. Avoid QLC drives as they tend to underperform. If you're okay with 1TB instead, I spotted the WD SN5000 for around $84 which seems like a decent entry-level drive.
What type of SSD are you looking for? Like M.2 or 2.5 inch? That might also affect your options and pricing.
