Installed the PNY XLR8 CS3040 1TB M.2 NVMe Gen4 (on sale $156.99). Heatsink I purchased separately from Amazon. Don't purchase the version that comes with heatsink because it's too big.
Edit: read speed 5636.468 MB/s
Also transferring games back to PS5's built-in HD was slower. Faster transferring to NVME
Anyways if you are low on cash the NVME works. Link: https://www.amazon.com/PNY-CS3040-Internal-Solid-State/dp/B08KGXVXGM/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=PNY+XLR8+CS3040+1TB+M.2+NVMe+Gen4&qid=1627759703&sr=8-3
Now for the heatsink I went with this one for $9.99;

I will let everyone know if there are any problems that arise.
Sorry just saw email about your reply. I got the PNY XLR8 CS3040 1TB
Also just installed it with heatsink and it works!
