1TB that fits Steam Deck $140
WTF
I bought a 1TB 2280 that can be cut down to fit steamdeck for $70 just in case anyone needs to know. Lots of youtube videos but little information on cuttable ones.

hehe, saw the videos and for the 1TB that can be cut is mostly OOS or over $130.00 (samsung 991) . I bought an SN530 1TB 2230 for $117 @aliexpress when thy had their BF sale earlier this month.
Good info on the videos but most 1TB that dont have memory on both ends are hard to get or pricey.

I would advise against for a primary drive, however a secondary drive for games this might be ok, but your download times and install times for games may suffer. I'll admit, they seem quite enticing for media server usage. It'll be real interesting to see how well(or bad) they perform, could be decent, or as slow as a something like a flash drive.
Edit:
Looks like my initial thought was correct Grabbed a review from four days ago from someone named yobo.

USB 2.0 Write Speeds After Filling SSD Write Cache
This drive appears to have 1/4th of it's free space as SSD Write Cache. After you fill the write cache, the write speeds go from 1.7 GB/s to 40 MB/s, which is about as fast as a USB flash drive. I wanted to use this as a game drive and mostly fill it, but I fear updating games on it will be extremely slow. Honeslty, pay an extra $50 to get a better SSD.

TBW can be simplified by 90% of total storage that can be used every day. So imagine writing 1.8tb every day, it will last you 400 days before it bricks or shows sign of instability. This isnt the most accurate description of TBW but more or less an idea. You can read up on it and see where video editors would prefer in terms of TBW.
The code is just a text image that they scan, and if you click you download the picture.
Put one on store pickup, then picked up another while there.
Smoking deal.
