You could look for used original ones from Samsung or Sandisk, they’re the 12+16 pins ones, you can’t mistake them, manufactured mainly for 2013/2015 macbook pros in that large storage size. For new flash drives I don’t know any other beyond the ones mentioned already by @jonaharagon

Any reason the ones on iFixit won’t work for you? Possibly available cheaper direct from OWC.
If you don’t like OWC, Transcend also makes one.

Thank you for the information. I wasn't sure about OWC due to the comments that I have read on it and Transcend seemed expensive so I started to look into the Samsung SSD and the conflicting comments on the three brands above just became aggravating. I started to read some of the posts here and it seemed as if folks here knew what there talking about. Do you have any thoughts on the Samsung products?
