They don't even seem to know what TBW means, or are deflecting a question about write endurance to a answer about written data reliability, which is worded in a way that is extremely misleading.
yes they CAN retain data forever in theory, if you hide it in a lead box to prevent cosmic ray and solar flares from flipping bits, and never use it keeping it completely new and none of the solder balls on the nand crack from repeated heating and cooling over time, but in real world conditions, an SSD is good for maybe 5-10 years of writes, sometimes they die right away, sometimes they far outlast expectations.
This thing is going to be severally thermally constrained. The case is made of plastic, which is fine for nand doing thumb drive speeds, but I have my doubts on full ssd longevity in a device like this.
looks fine for use as a faster thumbdrive, but if you wanted to constantly read and write from/to this and have it on 24/7, I wouldn't expect it to outlast the 3 year warranty by much. for just a bit more money, you could buy a 1TB nvme for $50-60, and put it in a $20-35 metal usb type c to nvme case that would properly transfer thermal energy away from the nand and controller. and you'd be getting 2-3x the read write speeds as long as you had high speed type c ports.

You can definitely buy an NVMe 2280 SSD and an external Case to create your own external SSD but that is never going to be that small. Based on the speed of this SSD, I can tell you right now that this SSD is not designed for being attached 24X7 as a Game Drive. This is more of a fast USB Flash drive with superior speed than the normal Thumb drivers.
And regarding your point about Company not showing TBW, find me another manufacturer who has provided TBW for their external SSD products, say for example Crucial X6 or Samsung T7. That is the standard norm for 99% for external SSD.
