With that in mind though, if you're maxing out the M2 slots of your motherboard, you're going to be at Gen 4 speeds so something "around" 7-8000" is where you want to purchase anyhow.
NAND is being slurped by the AI firms and it's not going to get cheaper. Apple is is going to renegotiate in for Q2 and onward, with every other major firm (SK Hynix, Micron and Samsung) looking to lock in the contracts with the big players - little consumers are so screwed. I'm expecting prices to increase and /maybe/ come back down 10-15% from the peaks in Q2/Q3 .
IMO, this wasn't a bad deal. I'm glad I didn't have to decide this or a few more dollars for a bit more future-proofing.
Samsung ... I'm seeing 4TB at over $1000 and some even pushing $2.2K 8TB is ... absurd.

The main thing you'll notice is TLC will have 2-3x lifetime write rating compared to QLC, meaning your drive will last 2-3x longer.
Sure but this is both a TLC and a dram NVME drive. Most of the cheaper drives are QLC and non-dram. It's like comparing apples to oranges. https://www.ibm.com/think/insights/qlc-vs-tlc

The larger the nvme/ssd the longer the life span as it has more places to write before the same spot is overwritten again (this spreading out the writes). all I'm saying is TLC is vastly superior to QLC in terms of lifespan.

Using 7.3TB we then can compare against the TBW of this specific drive : 4TB at 2400 TBW (https://www.storagerevi
Mathing 2400/7.3 = 328 years
Let's math out a heavy user, 50GB / day which at 18.25 is 131 years. Which is still a very long time.
Let's flip this around - you want this device to last 20 years before you're forced to consider upgrading (20 years ago we were purchasing 256GB SSD for nearly $1000 and no one is using them ... I know because I still have one or two around).
20 years is 329GB/day of WRITE operations at the 2400TBW. This means you're not using DRAM at all to cache but constantly writing 300+ GB each and every day and then after 20 years, you can expect to see the degradation.
I guess I'm the outlier, since I expect my NVME's to last longer than 4-5 years? Stick with the cheapest NVME drives you can get then. I have a 980 pro 1TB Nvme thats down below 84% health, with a estimated remaining life of 674 more days. (total expected lifespan 4.2 years?) But feel free to tell me how NVME drives last longer, while I'm over here with reality. This drive was purchased after their firmware was patched to correct whatever issue they had at launch too, so its not a firmware/product issue.
