2TB NVMe's are going for as low as ~6¢/GB on sale. So you aren't even getting the cheapest price per Gig on SATA SSDs anymore. You're just getting capacity at a significantly larger formfactor. Make it count.

Anyone that chooses to buy this, over a 500GB-2TB NVMe drive, or even a faster SATA SSD, will be severely disappointed, or just otherwise better served with a reasonably size NVMe.
This drive really only excels at large capacity, reasonably quick, local storage. But the QLC SSD here will slow down to sub-HDD speeds on large data transfers (over ~10GB), and day-to-day tasks on this drive as your boot drive will be slower than they could be on even a value oriented PCIe 3.0 500GB-1TB SSD at much less than the required $290 here. If you need a fast SSD, with only occasional, non-time sensitive storage, you can always pick up a 4TB 2.5" HDD for ~$100, or as much as 20TB for ~$310 on a deal.
Do you really need 4TB of fast (but not too fast) storage, but NOT 8TB? Do you really think it's worth paying the roughly the same amount for 4TB as you would for 18TB of HDD storage?
I use them for storing large sound libraries for composing. Basically anything that you'll copy to it once and read over and over again will be a great use case. I wouldn't use it as your boot drive but deep storage is great.
