Now if you'll excuse me I will get yesterday's purchases ready for return to make way for today's deals....again. 😂

App access is not sequential, and well below gen3 limits.
This is low durability QLC, the 980 pro is TLC as it should be.
The durability of QLC is markedly questionable, but for a vast amount of folks these drives are just fine. I purchased 2 for cache (which will get hit pretty well) for my NAS, and they are mirrored so in that case the SPOF is not really there. Also I can get 2 of these drives almost for the cost of one high end MLC. So it is fit for purpose.
Not sure why you wouldn't use this as a boot drive (2TB for boot?), there are not a lot of IOPS/data written in a boot drive. You could partition it up and make the rest usable.
Also when the TBW limit is hit, the warranty goes up in smoke but it's not like some kill switch and the drive fails, that is what is warrantied.
The disturbing trend is pulling out cache from SATA SSD because there is no HMB as a crutch, these drives use quasi SLC cache.
My kid's old computer has between 1-2tb which was cloned/imaged onto an external drive. Most of this is games, steam mods and saved games.
Do I need to purchase a 2tb sdd m.2 and swap it with the hdd? What should the difference be between boot and game drive?
My computer building experience is from 20 years ago.

When folks say QLC is "garbage", what does that really mean? That the drives die an early death? That they have random failures throughout their life? I really haven't read or heard clearly why they're garbage other than people ranting about it with little to no supporting data.

It's fine for storing mostly static files, such as PS5 games or photos. Even at 250G written per day you'll still get 4.8 years of use before data loss is a concern. I'd pay a little more if my workload requires writing that much data per day. After 4-5 years, it's time for an upgrade anyway. This is fine for most people.
I need to replace the OS drive, the silly thing came with a 2.5" 5400rpm spinning hard disk in 2021, why I don't know (cost I guess) because it has an m.2 slot just sitting there empty.

I know either would be a big performance boost, but would I see any difference between the two m.2 in such a basic i5 powered low to mid range laptop?
It doesn't have wired ethernet or any really high speed input, I'm thinking it can't really exploit the speed of either one without at least an upgraded wifi card. It only connects for download currently via wifi 802.11AC. My internet connection is via fiber optic but I have the lowest 50Mbps plan.
I don't do video editing or anything, the only speed need I really have would be downloads.

I'm not sure this even qualifies as mid range laptop, the rest of the hardware may be too slow to see any advantage between the two?
Can it even take advantage of the extra speed of the more expensive option?

It's a laptop so there will be no upgrading cpu or gpu going on.
Ram on this is a weird 8gb stick and 4gb stick, both can be upgraded they're not soldered, that's the way they come from the factory mixed up like that, not sure if that works in dual channel mode that way or not.
