Degrades faster is true. Not necessarily slower.

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.
It has 300TB write typical of a 1tb qlc drive
I can't imagine how 300TBW won't be enough on a Steam deck.
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.

I'm waiting on the 2TB since the Deck was on sale. Hopefully in the next 2 weeks, the 64GB eMMC filled up fast.

Low endurance (300 TBW for the 1TB drive, 600 TBW for the 2TB drive). The Sabrent 1TB 2230 is TLC and 600 TBW for example, but I think it's fine either way for gaming but that's up to you.

QLC is the ugly step-sister in the SSD memory world, when the RAM manufacturers wanted to win the race-to-bottom:

Yes, QLC is cheaper, but slower "in general" and do not last as long.
