The Sabrent is one of the few PCIe 4 NVME's that go above 2TB and with top notch speeds.

If you end up buying a third M.2 (and I think Sabrent and Corsair are pretty much your only options) it won't fit in your motherboard, so you should get a USB caddy, stick your PCS SSD into it and use it as an external drive.

The other option would be to get a 2.5" SATA SSD, where large capacities come cheaper. A Samsung 870 can be had for under £300, which is is a hell of a lot less than the M.2 alternative. The speed difference probably wouldn't be that noticeably in gaming.

Makes quite a big difference in Windows 11 with Direct Storage, apparently it's coming to Windows 10 also:

The other option would be to fit one of the PCIe add-in cards to expand with an extra 1/2/4 m.2 SSDs.
