TBW: 450 TB?!
Compared to various other 2TB models:
WD Blue SN580,
WD SN5000: 900 TB
Crucial P5+,
Samsung 870 EVO,
Samsung 990 EVO+,
WD SN770: 1200 TB
Different performance tiers.
QLC < TLC < MLC
MLC (Multi-Level Cell) → 2 bits per cell (best durability, expensive)
TLC (Triple-Level Cell) → 3 bits per cell (balance of cost, speed, and endurance)
QLC (Quad-Level Cell) → 4 bits per cell (cheapest, but slower and wears out faster)
And even then this thing would last me for 9 years.

FWIW, Samsung 870 QVO 2TB is 720 TB.
If the manufacturer doesn't trust its product much, neither would I.
Though it might just be a warranty limitation of sorts, I don't know if that's really the case.
It could just as well be correlated with data retention. The more you write, the more likely you are to get data corrupted somewhere.
You can pay much more for a Firecuda with full data protection recovery warranty but still be bitten by known firmware bug eating data.
Sometimes the less you write the more likely it data will fail as bad firmware fails to refresh the cell data.
They don't test tbw, its an arbitrary number for product differentiation. Even junk chinese nand has been tested and seen to go past tbw, slowly but still survives.
So yes it depends how much your data is worth, for some uses it doesn't matter. You should have backup anyways.
Ideally you should get tlc with dram, but that ignores budget.
