I've been running this as a PC game drive for a few months now. Very pleased with the read/write speeds.

Now, mostly I use these for short term storage, media stuff, scratch pad stuff... as a DATA SSD and have NVMe as MAIN OS.
The other one 2tb drive for 104 is good too, it's a grade higher than the two 2tb model.

The "up to" read write speeds are only reached under ideal sequential read write conditions where it reaches SATA limits. It is poor everywhere else.
The only reasonable application for this (compared to other SSDs) is a "write once", "read sequentially many times" type of application like Archival storage, single stream media servers and to rescue old laptops with hard drives where any SSD would make a difference and you want to spend the absolute minimum.
The Silicon Power SSDs in this price range have better reputation/reliability in user reviews. Typically about $5-$10 more than Team deals. Crucial MX500 with DRAM about $20 to $30 more when deals happen.
Seems like every time I'm installing anything or moving files to it, I see the speed plummet and then it ends up taking 10x as long as my older SSDs would.
I guess if you had a static steam drive you never added games to, after what would be a brutally slow initial fill, that would be fine. Even then, you are justifying things like letting it run overnight which is counter to why I like SSDs to begin with.
Dramless ain't for me, but maybe it's for you. Just be sure you understand how severe and frequently these won't operate like real SSDs.
