Nice, I wonder if this will be the best price for a good brand SSD for black Friday. Just built a new desktop and used a 1TB Samsung 980 Pro NVME as boot drive and need another SSD for storage to go along with my 4TB mechanical drive that I will move from my old machine.

Ultimately this deal sucks! It only has 360 terabyte write (TBW) endurance. That's horrible performance. Do not use this drive for normal every day usage. Only thing it's good for is backups and rarely updating the data on it.
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.
