It largely doesn’t make sense to get small SSDs at this point. 500 gig drives aren’t that much more than 250 gig drives. And not only do you get twice the storage, but usually better performance too.
Micro center has a 512 gig NVME SSD for $40, or $35 for a sata drive. A 256 gig drive is about $10 less at about $25 and $27. A 1tb NVME drive is $60. For a little over half the price you can get 4x the storage and have space for days.
