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

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.
Leaving your game drive almost full isn't that big a deal, not so much for your os drive as it gets peppered with writes by default.

Not a good bargain.
Yes, this is worrying. Endurance (TBW) spec for the Crucial P3 Plus 2TB is only 440TB.

The $110 Kingston NV2 2TB has endurance spec of 640TB, which is better, but also low.

I think these are indicative of QLC. If you check endurance ratings of other NVMe's, 2TB capacity tends to have a TBW over 1000TB. These likely reflect TLC's longer endurance.
For example, the Silicon Power A60 2TB ($105 at Amazon) has a TBW of 1200TB. The A80 ($130) has a TBW of 1600TB.

>When folks say QLC is "garbage", what does that really mean? That the drives die an early death?
QLC can tolerate fewer write cycles than TLC. I'm ignoring SLC (1st-gen) and MLC (2nd-gen), as current consumer units no longer use these (longer-lasting but less capacity) tech.
People keep harping about speeds. But how long a drive lasts should trump that, at least for low-end NVMe's.
TL/DR: How long a drive lasts matters more than how fast it is. Google for the drive specs and check their endurance/TBW rating.
