Typically TLC would be in the 600 TBW range, and TLC with good SLC cache will be in the 1200+ TBW range.
Overall, if you use this as a normal drive Game drive, you won't have much for issues (as files are stored and not changed a lot), for OS, it's intermediate, as temp files will write/delete frequently, but if you do something like video editing, this drive won't last. That's why the warranty is usually expressed as "X years or XXX TBW" as if you use the drive to excess in a short period, they can't cover it.
Edit: Also, check your Amex for a $25 credit when you spend $250 or more at Adorama if you have other purchases to make.

Not the fastest speeds, but can't beat that price. Best I can compare is an Amazon deal that sold out super fast back in March 2021 for the Inland 2TB NVMe m.2 for $151 with read/write at 3,400/3,000MB/s

Usually shorter lifespan (drive writes), higher latency (noticeable when cache gets filled), possibly or likely lower reliability with more voltage states.

Any mention of what kind of lower life expectancy we're talking about?
Tends to be slower. But for normal work, you'll never notice the difference between this and tlc.
