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.

Positive:
1. learning about this
2. I didn't yet buy a 4tb drive, not sure I will, considering larger capacity spinning disks for media storage.
3. For my gaming pc I picked up a wd black sn850x, which is generally above 500MBps even once the perf drops.
The negative:
1. the wd black sn850x is possibly THE worst performer wrt to this kind of behavior in its price range and perf range.
I guess for gaming there's no real concern, I doubt it'd be writing much relatively speaking.
I wonder how those massive enterprise nvme ssd's deal with this. Just straight TLC and charge a crap load? Massive DRAM?
4K RAW video takes up a lot of space. But 500MB/s is still fast enough.
Other video recorders, even cameras can also use it.
Lastly, there are no 4TB TLC NVME drives at this price.
