This is pretty much the everyday price for the last few months now. All retailers typically have it at this price. The only pretty good price has been from B&H Photo for $200. It was that price a few weeks ago for a day, and again maybe another month prior to that.
5 year warranty = 1826 days2400 TBW endurance / 4 TB = 600 Drive Writes600 Drive Writes / 1826 days = 0.328 Drive Writes per Day = ~1.31 TB writes per day (assuming 1x write amplification)
I still haven't had an SSD fail on me yet. Got a large stack of used 256 and 512GB SSDs(many brands) because none have failed. The only issue I've had was that somewhat recent 24H2 update that bricked a bunch of my SSDs until bios updates came out. I honestly don't pay attention to the endurance ratings anymore.

I've never had an nvme drive fail on me. I did have a SATA SSD fail once.
A long time ago, Anand (of the late Anandtech website) used a tool to monitor his data write usage on his home work computer. IIRC, he found that his daily writes averaged about 7 GB of data per day, even as a power user.
I really can't come up with use cases outside content creation (audio, video, or otherwise), or software building, where someone might be writing that much data. And those people who need that capability are probably going to choose drives that are optimized for that purpose.

I've had hard drives running 24/7 for 14 years now and only one in ten of those failed. Never had an ssd croak. I think my oldest one running is 12 years now. Yeah due for an upgrade and being forced to with windows 11. 😆
