This means you could install all three games once per day literally every day for ~7 years before you wear out the drive.
One hour of 4K video is roughly 25GB. You could load nearly 15,000 hours of videos — that's 24 hours a day every second for over 600 days.
So yeah, it'll last you a long, long time as a regular windows/Linux boot drive. Be realistic about your usage. This is an amazing price for a great SSD.
5 YR warranty is a plus. QLC NAND makes it cheaper but lower endurance. For general use it's a great deal. Speeds are very respectable for the price. In for a couple. Thanks OP!
I don't expect a $65 1TB SSD to be a 5-star market overperformer, but given that the speeds are actually pretty good and has a 5 year warranty from an US company and good reliability, I'll take "meh".
Here's a Tomshardware.com review where they give it a 4 star rating and the "cons" are of no real importance:

Seems better than "meh" for $65.

endurance is plenty - check the endurance of the Samsung 840 Pro - which was a flagship SSD at one point, even the old 840 TLC Planar was calculated to last at 10.2 yrs with way less TBW, other posters also addressed the TBW in relative terms
Intel made SSD's like the 730 series since the MLC SATA days - some of the first 5yr wtys and rated for 70GB/day duty at the 240GB/480GB level. (enterprise level in those days)
As your drive fills up there will be fewer empty blocks to quickly write data to which is why performance degradation occurs since it takes 10x longer to erase data than write it
But you're correct, all drives degrade but QLC moreso

That said, this is a "high end" QLC drive if there is such a thing since it has both DRAM + SLC cache

If you don't know, Intel SSD business failed, Intel is shutting down it's SSD business, sell China facility to SK, the 5-year warranty will be a joke.

You would not use this for 37 year storage of photographs. Buy spinning rust instead and do multiple backups for less than the cost of this. This makes no sense for long term archiving for a photographer.
