Many people mistakenly assume that the TBW rating is an estimation of how long the drive will last (e.g. half will fail at the TBW rating), but this isn't the case. While TBW does correlate with the expected lifetime of the drive, most SSDs will last well beyond the TBW rating.
TBW is proportional to the size of the drive. For example, the 120 GB version is 40 TBW and the 240 GB version is 80 TBW.
Usually, I'd tell people that they'll never hit the TBW number on any drive before the warranty expires, but since the 120 GB drive is so small, it's possible that an almost normal use case could hit that. It's kind of weird to think about someone turning over the contents of their drive 400 times in 3 years, but I could imagine a professional photographer writing 100 GB each weekend to the drive, editing the files and then moving them to some kind of long-term backup storage. If that's you, then you can probably spend the extra money for the $20 drive.
120GB — 40TB
240GB — 80TB
480GB — 160TB
960GB — 300TB
Assuming these drives are even still TLC, what more do you want? There are no more MLC drives in the consumer space, let alone SLC. Be glad it's not QLC. 3D TLC is currently the best case scenario.

This. If you record 24x7x365 and have a decent number of cameras, you will need a large amount of space to hold the recordings for a reasonable amount of time. "Reasonable" would vary by application\user, but I generally want to keep at least a week or 2. The constant writing will burn up SSDs a lot faster in theory and that is not even factoring in the added cost of larger ssds.
Mine is a replacement drive for an old to a very old computers which have some support role, not a primary desktop machine. Equipment control, for one.
THose have pretty low use of resources, so TBW rating is pretty irrelevant...
