Not a huge 'value add' but: the graphene-imbued 'heat spreading' sticker, really does work. I bought some copper-graphene 'adhesive thermal spreader' and it's absolutely unreal how well that stuff moves heat across its 2D axis.
(I put some on an mSD card for my Steam Deck. The little 'tail' I left on the card gets too warm to comfortably hold; it works. (No wonder the Deck is known as a mSD killer)
Graphene/Pyrolytic Graphite actually meets the 'marketing wank'!
FYI, for those 'nerdily inclined': 'Graphene' usually refers to thin few-sheet layers of allotropic carbon, typically Plasma Vapour Deposited onto a substrate.
'Pyrolytic Graphite' usually refers to many 'roughly/mostly 2D-oriented' allotropic carbon, typically grown on a substrate via tightly-controlled pyrolysis of Natural Gas (or other hydrocarbons).
In marketing, this distinction isn't always followed, but thankfully the 2 materials perform similarly in these consumer-oriented applications.

I remember 1 or 2gb SD card died 10-15 yrs ago or so. I never touched this brand again. Now i run their cheap ddr4 ram for 3 months in my new build. Seems ok.
Is this SLC or TLC?

Is this SLC or TLC?
tl;dr: TLC NAND SSD w/ DRAMcache, also using some TLC as SLCcache
-Adding in active airflow around/over the drive and/or the thermal mass of the Heat Sink, will extend full-load endurance considerably. (<- as referenced in the OP's linked Tomshardware review, second post in thread has an excerpt from it, directly addressing your query)
