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.
A normal user will not exceed 10-20TBW under very heavy usage per year.
Unless you have a large production system database running 24/7 and serving millions of reads writes every day, you will not exceed the limit for 10+ years.
You will never see crucial SSD for $0.99... SDs would buy all of them at $199....
Stuck them in my TrueNas Scale server, and so far so good
