Don't use it for boot drive, gaming drive, photo/video editing drive, logs, etc. Long term storage is recommended.
Most good SSDs now come with PBW, or Petabyte Write endurance. For that to be 360TBW, one could chew through that in just a few years. Just to put into perspective, one would only need to write 1Terabyte of data a day and this drive would be toast in a year. That seems like a lot of data, but also consider this is TLC NAND, and requires writing "3" bits per cell. Which means that if 1 of those bits changes, it has to read the other 2 and re-write all 3 in a new location. Change 1 letter in a txt document of 2 words, and the whole thing has to be rewritten in a new location. So that low TBW endurance level gets chewed through pretty quickly.

Between this one and the M.2, which would make for a better media creation drive (as a scratch disk for editing)?
Thanks!
