gen 3 nvme 2tb needs to be $50 at this point.
TBW is really just the manufacturer's limit of liability for warranty purposes. I have several old SSDs that still work fine, despite exceeding power on hours and TBW claims. It's not like they just magically up and die once you cross that number.

Remember when Hyundai came out with their 100k mile warranty? They were notoriously unreliable back then and nobody was going to pay a premium for them when you could get similar warranties from Honda and Toyota, known reliable brands. Hyundai accepted the increased risk of warranty claims to get their prices up to fuel quality improvements.

This drive for $70 is a good price. It's a known reliable drive.

For $80, you could get a 2TB TeamGroup MP34. It has a 5 year warranty and rated at 2,000 TBW. It benchmarks faster and also uses better TLC memory. But is it really as reliable as a proven Intel drive? Probably not. I will say first-hand that the 1TB MP34 has worked just fine for my purposes.
This one. TBW doesnt mean anything for storage only, since you are not going to write that much. Think about it, the TBW is like max speed. Someone says car A can go 200 mph and another can go 250 mph, will that factor in your decision? 740TBW is plenty. Most people will write 60-160TB in 5 years.

Not necessarily. I have a Adata XPG8200Pro with lots more TBW and it died 3 times within a year. (kept replacing it). TBW doesnt mean anything if the drive is unreliable.This 670p is rock solid (with the latest firmware).

The reason i like intel or solidigm ssd is that i use intel ssd and that thing last forever, thats why i trust the brand. I wonder if it can go lower in Black Fridays

I'd probably pay that much for a 2.5" SATA with TLC NAND, which is basically what I'm waiting for.

Gonna grab this to install as a cache drive in my TS-264. Should do the job nicely.

Personally I'd avoid Intel. We had about 10x 2.5" (different model and a bit older) at work all fail within six months of eachother after about 3 years of service. We probably hit the tbw cap, but I've got a bunch of other Samsung and crucial drives that are still running without issues.
