With the Samsung 980 1TB SSD sold out here's an alternative for the same price and pretty much the same in speeds. Like the Samsung this is DRAMless so it's better suited as a game drive instead of an OS drive and not PS5 compatible since it's PCIe 3.0.
Featuring 1TB TLC flash storage, M.2 2280 form factor, 3500/3000 MB/s sequential read/write speeds, pSLC cache, 600 TBW endurance and a 5 year warranty.

The benches I saw were close enough.
most reviews would agree. i'm running my unraid cache volume with 1x SN750 and 1x 980
The Kingston A2000 1Tb is available on Amazon for $125… And that model has a DRAM cache (unlike this one and also the Samsung 980)
Is there any other good deal in this that is also worth to
consider for system disk?
Read somewhere that WD SN570 has hidden 10% Over Provisioning builtin. That is, no need to reduce your usable space if you want Over Provisioning. If true makes this 1TB SSD higher capacity than Samsung or Crucal equivalents. Unable to confirm.
SN570=980NP
Might be better.
Convince me I'm wrong.
