Highlights:
Tlc, no dram, 64 layer
Endurance: 540 tbw
3 year warranty
2018 inception
Some *'s on variants possibly being 96 layer instead of 64
Sum up, this is an ssd using 5 year-ish old technology. Most popular ssd's actually use Tlc as well, so don't let that scare you off. I'd suggest using that spec sheet database to compare with other popular ssd choices and decide which level of tech suits what you want and your wallet 🙂

I've been using it for PS5 for almost a month for back up storage. No problems, but keep in mind you do need to move games into the internal storage in order to play. but that only takes a few minutes vs downloading them. with Xbox, you can play legacy titles directly from the backup, but must move Series X games to internal storage.
However, I'm not sure if the company sticks to the original specs sheet. If it's still using TLC nands, it's great. If it's switched to QLC nands, it's bad.

All that hassle of transferring data and shipping back for $10?

As a reference, check how many TBW you have actually used on your own computers and how long those drives are in use for. Calculate your TBW per year and it will tell you how many years this would last. For my 4 year old laptop which is my daily use one, I have only 38 TBW on its one single drive. So this would last me more than a few decades!!
Your main concern should be sustained read write. The more expensive drives like Samsung have better controller and caching which allows sustained 500MBps read write.
This drive will likely give you 500 for the first 10GB or so and then drop to 100. But then again, how often do you write Consistent 500MBps for over 10GB?
