I went to the Crucial website to find out what they say are compatible 2 TB options and the following three are listed:

Crucial T500 2TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD

and

Crucial P3 Plus 2TB PCIe M.2 2280 SSD

and

Crucial P3 2TB PCIe M.2 2280 SSD

Will all options work? If so, would the first one be the best performance? Finally, will the heatsink option fit?

Thanks for the help!

@GaryCal01 , Yes, all the listed options would work.  The Crucial T500 Gen 4 NVMe SSD in your list will give you the best performance.  An SSD with heatsink option will also fit.
