The question is whether you need it now or how much in the future. I have plenty of crap I purchased on sale that has never been used. Now I see those were BAD purchases, no matter what the price.
I'm certainly glad I went with the drive warrantied for 90 years at my usage rate, rather than the one only warrantied for 53 years.
The truth is nobody as a normal consumer will come close to these TBW figures.. it's much more likely you'll use it for years, upgrade your computer and sell it or forget about it as it fades into the rear view mirror.
Also despite being QLC, these drives use a dynamic cache that depends on the remaining size of available storage where it treats the cache as SLC, so you get full write speeds. For 2tb, which starts at 256gb and never drops below 24gb. This means you'll get full speed for that cache amount, then it will drop to QLC write speeds which are pretty low.

Are there valid, common use case where someone actually does need >700 TBW ? I can't honestly think of how people would write that much data. Seems you could download video games and watch 4k video all day long for years and not use that much. I don't know where people would get more data...

Do you think this SSD will be cheaper?

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank kaabob
Those wondering this is PCIe 3.0 so no, will NOT work in the PS5
