My concern was less about what you bought than how you bought it.

There is a non-trivial amount of chatter about the selling of counterfeit SSDs on Ali/Temu, that function but run well below spec.

Here is one example.

I also noted your concern about reliability and longevity when you mentioned the TLC/QLC issue.

For that I look to both the manufacturer's warranty as well as the claimed MTBF and TBW.

The Ali page for your drive had no warranty listed, though it was listed in the spreadsheet Ganesh offered. According to its official product page, Netac indicates a 5-year warranty and a TBW of 700.

(I shudder to think of the warranty return process for something bought off Ali, though).
