Hi everyone

Looking to build NAS storage on Lenovo Tiny M920x.

I am looking to add NVMEs for storage. It has 2 dedicated NVME ports, 1 SATA, 1 M.2 A+E wifi, 1 Pcie slot.

For now I am looking to get 2 NVMEs to use in dedicated NVME slots.

Which consumer grade NVME SSDs would be recommended for NAS storage (TrueNAS) ? People recommend commercial SSDs but I know commercial SSDs would be out of my budget.

Would 2 TB x 2 would be a ideal way to start or should I get 4 TB x 2 for longevity.
 
You may want to mention your storage capacity requirements first and then your budget. Also Nvme implies, you need fast data access from your NAS ? What kind of content are you looking to store.
Samsung and WD are reliable when it comes to NVMEs. I think there is quite a bit of information available here on NVMEs and even a tier list so search for those.You will need to describe your use case to arrive at a model.
We have resellers in our marketplace who can source them cheaper.
