cheap and reliability don't come together unfortunately
Lexar is a known brand once owned by Micron USA but sold to China's Longsys long time ago
NQ100 is QLC DRAM-less drive without HMB buffer, that's why it's cheap

better go find other SSDs with DRAM, or if DRAM-less (cheaper), must have HMB

So many brands and models better than DRAMless trash. Just ignore them.

PCIE? Kingston KC3000 (Good PCIE 3.0 SSDs are overpriced right now)

First line choices : Kingston KC3000 / WD Black SN850 -> Make sure your board has heatsink for it or just buy the heatsink version if it doesn't interfere with other parts.
Second line choices : WD Blue SN580 -> Low power + low heat version, runs acceptably fine.
