It is currently on sale at Memory Express for $109.99 which is $200 off.
If I can get to Edmonton which is 80 miles away before the sale ends I just might go for it.
In this case, it still is. ~$110+ for the performance SATA drives in 2 TB sounds about right for current SSD pricing.
I currently have 2 MNVE M2 drives, 500GB and 1TB, 1-250gb SSD and a Seagate 2TB HDD.
I wanted the extra 2TB drive for games and figured an SSD would be better than a regular HDD.
I could just get another Seagate 2TB HDD but if I can find a reasonably priced SSD that would be nice.

Looking at https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-Internal-Gaming-MZ-V8P2T0B-AM/dp/B08GLX7TNT/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2O776T7Q99SEV&th=1 in the U.S. this 1TB NVMe drive is 59.99 USD.
Switching over to the .ca site, the same drive is $144 CAD, which is kinda ouch.
As for your question, there's nothing wrong with Seagate SSD's. And SATA SSD's have all pretty much reached the point of being able to max out SATAIII so my thinking is, look for a good price. Read the reviews, don't buy something with abysmal reviews obviously.
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/seagate-barracuda-120-1-tb/14.html this review seems as glowing as one could expect for a SATA SSD.
Filtering from this... (I don't know if you have other/better local options, mind you.)

...The MX500 is the first drive I come across that is appealing, but that's personal opinion. Everything below it is low end though, and everything above it isn't worth spending more on. I see Samsung drives are still woefully overpriced in SATA land so I wouldn't bother with those (QVO is a low end drive yet still costs more than a high end drive).
So I'd either get the MX500 or just pick one of the cheapest ones.
$141 CAD comes to around $107 USD which is right in line with what it costs in the US at the moment.
Alternatively, games don't need much so you can just go with one of the no-name ones (all are low end) if you're not fussed with the small stuff. If you want to possibly re-use it down the line for OS use or heavier tasks, a nicer drive with DRAM will be good. Else a slower one is fine for games.
Due to volatility and pricing and NVMe/M2 gaining ground, SATA is in a place where everything is low end or high end only, and some of them are overpriced (read, Samsung and the BX500 in particular). I think the only time the QVO is priced well is at higher capacities (8 TB, maybe 4 TB).
Sata SSDs are the lost middle child of storage as I see it.
IF you need speed, then Nvme is a better option.
If capacity/$ , then high capacity hard drives.
I want more storage and preferably faster than the regular HDD I have, if that will load games faster.
I have not seen one honest test where nvme surpassed SATA 3 SSDs in gaming.
Well those 8TB drives you mention are over $600 Canadian, not very affordable to me.
I'm thinking I will get a 2-4TB SSD for my recording studio setup, and then maybe an 8TB HDD for storage ( are the 5400 rpm HD'S okay for running games
? )
But Most PCs don't have a handful of M2 ports (most have one or two, a few have more and a few have none), and SATA is more than fine on performance (margin of error with NVMe in many tasks), so if it's all you have, you're not losing much for most uses.
There's also the point brought up above on higher capacity (8 TB+). SATA can be cheaper there.
Only flak I'd give them is for costing more than better drives, so there's zero reason to ever choose one unless one doesn't know what's what with SSDs and just buys it "because it's Samsung" which let's be honest is pretty much everyone.
It has nothing to do with being QLC inherently. That would be fine... if the drives were often priced well for what they are. For whatever reason, they never really are except around the highest capacity they are offered at a given time. So at 8 TB (maybe 4 TB, haven't looked there in a while) they're decent, yes. But below that (see my link above for pricing on 2 TB), for whatever reason, they usually cost in the same range as Crucial MX500s and Western Digital Blue 3D/SanDisk Ultra 3D, when those drives are comparable to 860 Evo (not QVO) as all of those are high end SATA drives. The QVO is low end (not even mid-range). It's fine for what it is if you want mass storage and want it to be SSD... but the price is awful at the lower capacities (talking 2 TB and lower). If something's worse but more expensive, it deserves flak for that.
So only flak I'd give it is awful value despite supposedly being a value drive at most capacity points. Not for being QLC.
