I bought this drive as I wanted a more high endurnance ssd without going to the much more expensive enterprise drives. this one fits the bill. Consistently (fast) performance, and great endurnace. it's not as fast as my other nvme (1tb samsung 980 pro), but then again the endurance rating is much higher.
