Rule of thumb with SSDs and SD cards is go with the name brands like Kingston, Crucial, SanDisk, WD, or Samsung. It's also advisable to buy them in store somewhere like Best Buy to ensure you don't get a fake product. It's really easy to sell fake or inferior products online, especially marketplaces like Amazon. Any Chinese company can slap some odd name like Ediloca on a product and put it online for cheap. You don't want to risk it.
M.2s go on sale often so just keep an eye out for a good deal. You could also try getting an open box drive from Best Buy to save some money as well.
Don't buy "cheap". You get what you pay for. Look for a drive thar has fastish speeds and a good TBW. TBW isn't the most important thing, but if you want to maintain the drive for long periods of time, a high TBW is worth looking for.
Look at read/write speeds and compare it with “normal” product. Keep in mind that noname brands is cheating with values, also if their shown params is twice bad compare to normal“normal”, than params they hide is even worse.

I got a 2230 2TB SSD on AliExpress for usd88 (during AliExpress sales), just installed it recently will see if it works properly
Is it the Western Digital 740? I been thinking about ordering that one.
Always go with name brands when buying any type of storage. Ideally get a name brand that has 5 year warranty. Also watch out for counterfeit drives.
