Haven't taken the time to compare r/w performance against the 850 Evo or anything else, but 1400tbw endurance for this price sounds great! That's like 3x or more the endurance of consumer drives. I...

Depending on your use case, TLC may work just fine. If you just need a largish OS drive with room to spare for additional apps/games/data then this drive will do the job and likely do it better than...

I don't know if you have trouble reading or comprehending, but the review article you linked to states that the drive uses 3-bit NAND, which is the same thing as saying it uses TLC. They call it MLC...

Except these are not MLC, they're TLC drives. The SM* line uses MLC NAND and they are much more expensive.

Good price for this RI Enterprise drive.
Keep in mind there is a newer version of this named the PM863a. The PM863 is still a great drive and I have many servers running with it.
