Yes, 100TBW is accurate, and yes, frighteningly low.

Just FYI, this is standard price on Amazon ($99.99) and has been even cheaper as of a month ago.

Pretty good deal for a game/media drive, though.

This is the only brand of SSD I have had fail on me. They did replace with an RMA however. Would pick another brand.

Oh whoops, I didn't realize being a "real gamer" meant throwing money at unnecessary specs.

Pretty good deal for a game/media drive, though.

it is quite low relatively speaking - their premium line is like 1,600TBW.

however, 100TBW is basically 10tb written per year for 10 years. using it as a game drive, i definitely don't install 10tb worth of games in a year (i wish i had the time to play that many games).

not many people will keep an ssd for 10 years (outdated specs in terms of capacity and speed, as well as potential failure of other parts of the ssd).

so depending on the use case, 100tbw is fine. if you're a professional that constantly transfers data, then i'd recommend a higher tier ssd (pcie gen 4).

also note that tbw isn't necessarily an indicator of reliability, as it's not a guaranteed spec and use-case varies by person. MTBF is probably a better measure, but i don't feel like researching MTBF between different drives right now.
