Pros:
It's from Costco so in theory you can return it forever.
Very high 3200TBW for a QLC
Cons:
Controller is InnoGrit IG5236, which is a low end one from 2021 with known firmware issues. Either Lexar fixed it as this is a new product or this is never going to be patched. It's a PS5 marketed drive so the tech competency for the average buyer for this product is effectively negative -> review has 0 value.
Very low end Intel/Solidigm QLC
This SSD is the Costco exclusive "SE" version of the normal PLAY model. It's a little slower and is QLC instead of TLC. If it were the normal TLC PLAY version, it would be almost identical to the M790, but that's not quite the case here as it's the downgraded QLC version.

If in doubt or receiving confrontation with the CSR, politely ask them to try to return. If the register allows for the return, it's returnable; had first hand experience with this.

This one from Costco would be fine for that. And if it dies, you can return. Although it's "lifetime" return, from actual experience, past 5yrs would be pushing it. It all depends on the CSR working that day. I've returned something that was almost 10yrs past; granted the item was still like new and was barely used.
Need to fully read the description as what is considered Computers and Electronics.
