For Steam Deck purposes, I'm not worried about TBW. Once you download a game, they sit on the SSD and almost no more writing takes place on the drive.
I was about to buy Sabrent 1TB last night, but this is almost half the price for same performance. This drive looks like what I'll end up with.
Edit: This drive is 3600 MB/s , 650,000 IOPS and Sabrent Rocket is 5000MB/s, 800,000 IOPS. So it is about 15% slower writes than Sabrent.
That wasn't a big enough difference for me. Just bought the Micron 2400 1TB.
I mean you download (write) a game once and then thats it. You're not going to be deleting and rewriting games much. 300TBW is probably enough to play through every game that Steam deck supports. That will probably take you more years then the product warranties cover.

Yes, QLC is cheaper, but slower "in general" and do not last as long.
Not an expert but qlc is supposedly slower/degrades faster than tlc.
