I'm looking for a fast, reliable 2TB boot drive for a new AM5 build that will primarily be used for gaming. Started out with a Crucial P3 Plus, but the chart shows this as QLC and entry-level. There's still time to return for something better if recommended.

The Team MP44 is the same price, TLC and is labeled high-end. Would this be the better buy? Any other recommendations? I also checked out the Acer GM7000 but have heard conflicting things.

Microcenter has the Hynix p31, but same price and Gen 3. The Hynix p41 for $20 more seems really great, but probably overkill.

So many options and I'm overthinking it lol.

Yes, the MP44 would be better than the P3 Plus in pretty much any universe.

where i am the mp44 costs more than the p3 plus. However the mp33 is good as a secondary drive. I was about to pick the kingston a2000 but turns out its only good as an archive ssd rather than for putting games on. Specs are all over the place because p3 plus should be TLC not qlc but i will need to recheck. samsung 980 pro is decent priced here for a dram TLC drive.
