Once you register the product on our website https://www.sabrent.com/product-registration/ has a 5-year Extended warranty period.
Just an FYI, 99% home usage (gaming, amateur video/photo editing/streaming etc..) primarily rely on random IO read/write at low queue depth (responsiveness of games/programs loading time) which this drive and most NMVE drives severely lack.
Currently the only drive that has high random IO read/write at low queue depth is the Intel Optane SSD which costs a lot of $$$.
Look at professional reviews of Intel Optane SSD and read about random IO vs sequential read/write if you want to be knowledgeable about SSD so you can make an informed purchase decision.
In short, even the newest PCI E 4.0 drive such as Samsung 980 Pro with the 7000 Mbps sequential read/write doesn't really give you much improvement in terms of responsiveness in every day usage because it's the random IO performance that matters in every day usage, not sequential performance.
I couldn't get that sabrent software they include to work... kept saying there was no compatible drive connected. which was a shame but nbd since I sort of wanted to do a clean install.

MAX write: 4.4 GB/s
Sony recommends pcie drives that can reach 5.5GB/s. Though this drive might work in a PS5, it is not optimal down the road. If you're looking primarily for ps5 expansion and don't need it right now, I'd wait at least a year for much faster drives to pop up.
About the mx500... I also bought a SAMSUNG 870 EVO 1TB for 129$ to use as my "standard" drive for whatever. Amazon shows the mx500 1tb for 114$. If it was 85-90, I might return the 870 but it's nearly the same price. Hmm. Maybe I'll hunt around and see if i can find the mx500 for cheaper...
Speeds should be the same for both right? Longevity?

You can add external storage, but only for storing PS4 games.
So, best strategy right now is to buy a low-cost SSD plus USB adapter/enclosure and put all your PS4 games on that.
Save the internal storage for PS5 games only.
It's easy to shift games between internal and external if you think you'll get some performance boost by leaving PS4 games internal until you actually need the space for PS5 games.
