I just bought a new gaming laptop, and I'm hoping to replace the existing 512gb NVME with a 2TB NVME. Also hoping to add a second 2TB NVME for extra data/storage.

My criteria - PCIE 3.0. Unfortunately, the Legion 5 Pro doesn't support 4.0. I'm looking for the best combination of speed/reliability/price. Any suggestions? There is a huge pool of drives to wade through (and I am wading through it, too), but multiple heads are better than one, right?

While I haven't used the 2TB version, I have used the 1 TB NVME from Inland. I pick mine up at a local Microcenter, but they don't show anything larger on their website, at least not for the one local to me. However, you can find them on Amazon, and it shows as being sold by Microcenter and shipped by Amazon. The listing there also shows a 4 and 8 TB versions if you want to go extra large capacity. I just chose the 2TB version for the link since that's what you asked for.

I'm an idiot. I actually have one of those drives sitting on a shelf. I'm going to drop it in and give it a whirl. If it goes well, I'll buy a second one.

Thank you for helping this idiot out!

How is this compaired to a crucial or samsung?
For that matter who built the drive for Microcenter?
 
I currently have one 970 Evo 1TB and one of the 1TB Inland drives in my system. I don't notice a difference between files saved to either one. I haven't done any kind of benchmarking to see if one is faster than the other though.
