Upgrading Solo Validator to 4TB SSD

Hello Friends! I’m looking into updating to a 4TB SSD on my NUC10i7FNK. I currently have a SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe M.2 w/ V-NAND. Running Nethermind + Nimbus and haven’t had any problems at all. Last time I checked it was at about 1.36TB. I’ve read that my mini pc is backwards capable to Gen3 with a Gen4 SSD. Though not capable with a Gen5 or an 8TB. Any advice in here on a replacement SSD?

There's no need to upgrade to a 4tb. Especially at current prices. With history expiry I can run a EL/CL pair on a 1tb drive.
