for example, their return policy is:
Customer is responsible for return shipping expenses and restocking fee unless otherwise explicitly states on the product.
on the product, it says:
Return Policies
Return for refund within: 30 days
This item is covered by BTC and PC home Return Policy. <- this directs you back to their return policy page from which i quoted above
so neither page explicitly says free returns. obviously if things work as intended and you don't plan on returning it, new sellers like these pose no problem. but when things go wrong, that's where you really see the difference between places like amazon and smaller third party sellers.
i'd personally pay the extra $12 for the added peace of mind, but to each their own.
Also they don't magically blow up when the TBW is exceeded. I have a number of SSD that are years old (granted they were better made and not QLC junk) that have all exceeded TBW and not a single once has gave up the ghost yet. That is why backups are important. Any drive will die eventually.
You also have to take into account we are hovering at $50 a TB which is down 70-80% in the last few years so maybe in 5-7 years when this one dies its $10 a TB.
You make a great point SSD vendors have been pulling bait and switch w/ controllers/RAM/dramless/TLC/QLC now for a few years and keeping the same SKU. That should be a criminal act but it seems the US consumer protections are bought and paid for. But the computer industry has alway been rife w/ lies. Monitor sizes, terabyte is not a terabyte, this CPU chipset will last, not divulging SMR, etc.... Thankfully there are YT and the like channels calling them out for their deceptions, and this leaves a bad taste in people's mouths.

Essentially any retailer who sells and ships a product is responsible for getting a working, undamaged item to you that matches their product description. If the product is different than described, damaged or defective it is their responsibility to retrieve the product, all you have to do is make it available.
The seller can write whatever they want in their sales agreement, demand restocking fees and that the buyer pay for return shipping but it's all just hot air. These things are not enforceable no matter what they say. If you Rightfully Reject an item the transaction will ultimately cost you nothing.
The transaction might not cost anything dollar-wise in the long run, but when a vendor goes out of their way to make it a hassle, it sure has a cost. Having several hundreds of dollars tied up in refunds and dealing with a painful return process has it's own costs.
Everyone's free to do what they want, but I would never encourage someone to do business with a company who has anti-consumer language in their T&C.

I think this would be a perfectly fine steam/game/backup drive but could still come down in price.
Interesting. I can see that for a small capacity drive with a large cache, if such a thing exists. But what would cause a 4tb drive to reduce in sequential write speed after 1tb? Certainly not a cache thing anymore at that point?
