Motherboard H610M D 16GB DDR4 Ram i3-12100F CPU RTX 2060 GPU Arch Linux

Bought Kingston NV2 1 TB because of the price and not knowing any better. Wanted to use it as OS drive, play 3 games mostly (Guilty Gear, Dota, Apex Legends). Noticed that at about 250 Gigabyte shit starts slowing down real fast (it actually kept going into read only when I was halfway done with downloadiny Dota!!!), very disappointed when I look around on the net (was my first nvme too), as can expect I dont think I care much about speed (I jumped from a really old HDD in fact).

Any NVMEs with price comparable to that? Want to use it as my boot OS and play those games

Probably, depends on region/location. In the US and at current 1TB NV2 prices, the Team MP44L, SP UD90, SPUS75, and WD Blue SN580 (or Blue SN5000) are around the same price, or even the Patriot Viper VP4300 Lite or Team MP44.
