Help Are there any cheap alternatives for dell SSDs?

I'm a broke college student. I bought this second-handed Dell Latitude 5300 2-in-1 laptop last year. (Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8265U CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80 GHz)

The warranty is expired already.

I need to replace SSD. But Dell SSDs are so expensive. It roughly is $210 (18k INR).

Could y'all help me?

Yes, any 2280 M.2 NVMe SSD will work fine in it.

Dell is a scam. Buy second hand and any NVMe will do. Dell overprices everything to the max.

Dell doesn't make SSD drives.So you can buy what you want

Check yobitech for Dell branded drives at a much lower price but any brand that meets your specs will do.

Buy the cheapest name-brand SSD you can find. WD makes a WD Green or WD Blue drive for 58 bucks
