The WD Green SN3000 2TB is a budget NVMe aimed at basic gaming and everyday storage, with advertised speeds up to 5,000 MB per second and a 3 year limited warranty. The low price around $108 to $109 makes it attractive versus pricier Gen 4 drives, and burst tasks like Windows loads and game launches should feel fine. The main concerns are its QLC design, 250 TBW endurance, and reports of slow sustained transfers once the cache fills. Reliability and order handling also drew complaints, including premature failures, cancellations, and unexpected charges.
Gamers storing a large library, because day-to-day loading and game use can feel similar to faster drives while the 2TB capacity keeps costs down.
Backup workflows that move whole disks in one shot, because sustained transfers and large SLC-cache behavior matter more than burst speed when copying multi-terabyte data.
PC builders replacing a failing NVMe, because it offers a straightforward 2TB upgrade with a three-year warranty and advertised 5,000MB/s speeds.
Creators or archivists who write huge files continuously, because sustained transfer speed can drop sharply once the cache is exhausted.
Users storing data they cannot afford to lose, because the low endurance rating and reports of bad blocks raise reliability concerns.
People using the drive as a main system disk, because it can fail prematurely and may need power cycling or replacement sooner than expected.

From a power usage standpoint, it's about 7TB total or about 14-15 hours of the gaming rigs being turned on under a best case scenario to do network backups. I'm backing up 4x4TB drives with 1-3TB each on them, so with the external drive it's 30min to an hour tops for each drive, and the whole process can be done in an afternoon if I want to do all my computers. Finally, I can backup the file server itself and my laptop over the network while the desktops are backing up to the external drive. Once I get all the files on the external drive, I transfer them all to a spinner on the file server, which takes a very long time, but I don't care because I'm not actively working with data on the spinner drive in the file server, as it's dedicated to only storing those backup files. This also gives me redundancy, as I have a copy of the files on the external drive and one on the internal drive inside the file server. A third up-to-date copy is on an external 18TB drive that I cycle offsite with an identical 18TB drive every two months (offsite is current and onsite has month old data until the next backup). For the actual files I backup, I do use an incremental system that's backed up at the end of each day.
I use a quality NVME drive in a 20Gbps enclosure. I have a file server in the house that's on 24/7/365, however I prefer to do full drive backups instead of incremental. Also, by using the external drive I'm not bogging down the network for hours making backups and can do work with files over the network, stream Plex, etc.

A switched infrastructure should alleviate the impact on Plex or anything else. I'm surprised this is a concern. As gigabit is 100MB/s in both directions concurrently, this shouldn't be an impact, even if the NAS is also the Plex server.
It all sounds incredibly manual. Ouch!
I use Synology Active Backup for Business with my Synology and never need to think about this stuff.

There was that deal on the Office Depot nvme that everyone was all up in arms because the endurance was "only 700TBW".
