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.

What is a typical endurance for HDD?
For comparison sake to put this in perspective.
Thanks!

HDD terabytes written is comparable. For example, a Western Digital Gold 20TB drive has a TBW of 2750.
When normalized vs this 1TB drive, it's (2750/20) = 137.5TBW. That means according to this one metric, the SSD should be more reliable long term.
I would only buy an HDD today for long-term backup purposes. Any "hot" data that I intended to read from more than once a year, I'd rather buy an SSD. Failures are really a thing of the past, *especially* for common users (which includes gamers, but they don't wanna hear that 😆)
Now with a Canon R5 generating 50mb raw files at 20 frames per second, I created over 200GB of data in a couple hours of shooting a football game. I certainly don't need to save all of that, but optical disks haven't kept up with modern cameras, imo.
I see 100GB blu-ray discs are $6 each in a 10-pack. That's pricey.
I found 25gb discs at $39 for 50... so the 100GB discs cost 12x more for 4x the storage. I guess that's certainly a reasonable price to back up my data, but then I'm storing a big stack of blu-rays, which is just not fun to deal with. So I'm left with external HDs as my main backup method.

Isn't that what I said in the post you quoted?
Cool. I thought I said something wrong. 😅
