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!
Lol, 5¢ per GB? That's not happening just yet bud. At 6.75¢ a Gig, this is the best deal you're going to see anytime soon.

Well M.2 is a physical form factor, not an interface specification, so probably not what you're asking here. You probably mean the performance difference between SATA SSDs and NVMe SSDs. Then there's PCIe 3.0 or PCIe 4.0, and soon PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs...
If you're doing high resolution multimedia creation, the faster the storage, the better. So you'd likely be much better served with a lower volume of higher performance storage. Ie; get the fastest NVMe storage that your PC supports.

I think you're massively overestimating how much writing the average user is doing with their media storage drive. Most people won't be using it as a scratch drive, constantly swapping TBs of media files on and off of it.
It's perfectly fine as a large game drive, photos, videos, file backup, etc.
I wouldn't recommend it as a media creation drive, or a storage cache (unless you don't mind swapping in a new cache drive every year or so).
Also, and this is probably the confusion, where did you get 360TB TBW? Crucial lists the 4TB at 1PB TBW. maybe you looked at the wrong capacity?
The 1TB model is listed at 360TB TBW...

... I just bought my first 4TB Samsung 870 EVO for 299 dollars a week ago as data/storage in my PC (NVMe as OS).
I really don't mean to cause arguements or sour comparisions ... but which is better the Crucial 4TB or the Samsung 870 EVO . You guys know the story, should I have buyers remorse , or should I feel like I did a "slick deal" ... one week after I see Crucial 4TB for 270 dollars.
UPDATE: ok, instead of asking you scholarly and esteemed Slick Dealers about which is better SSD card , I found what I was looking for on Google (of all places).

I'm sure all but a few that got really unlucky with Samsung in the past, would say Samsung is a far better deal, even at $30 more. Samsung is among the best in the consumer SSD/NVME some may beat it in speed, but Samsung are better long term.
