This is better than the Black Friday price. It shows as $269.99, but with the promo code EMCTUVV92 in the daily email, it brings it down to $229.99.

This is a QLC drive, but it is very highly rated:

This is lower than the $245 price it was on Black Friday.
Unless you are a professional video editor dealing with multiple hours of 4k video every single day, this is plenty. But of course, if you are a professional video editor with that much storage demand, you will not be looking for a cheap solution like this anyway.
Just to give you an idea, recently I edited a 3.5 hour 4K footage which came to 145GB of raw footage. Using Davinci Resolve 15, I ended up with 400GB of proxy dada and less than 100 GB of cached render data. And that was a week's work. Even at generous guesstimate that the cache was rendered 5 times, that's still about 1TB of writes for an entire week's work.
Now I have a brand new set of 7 hours of RAW 4k footage that I just imported and are in the process of creating proxy files. I'm not at all worried about the wear on my SSD.
If this is not your use case for every single day, there shouldn't be any worries for average users.

This drive use an SLC cache. SLC is extremely fast. However, the main storage, in some case, can be slower than a platter drive. This only happen when you max out the cache.
Are you going to be working with GB+ sizes files? If so, then this is not the drive for you.
If you are going to be just gaming and using docs, then this is a great drive.
Currently, I dont think you can get a NVME drive under $400 that will beat this drive.
If anything, I'd bet that the Intel 2TB will give you similar, if not better, performance than your current Toshiba 512GB and give you larger storage.
Also, personally I wouldn't worry about the supposed shorter endurance of QLC.. 400TB TBW endurance is good enough for pretty much everybody.
Edit: Given that even Samsung's 970 Evo 512GB has only 300TB endurance, I doubt Toshiba will be any better. Also, as mentioned by others, unless you are in the habit of transferring 250GB+ data at a time, this drive will be plenty fast.
