Kingston NV1
2000Â GB, M.2 2280
Question about NV1 - 427162
2TB = 480TBW ? With TLC? Surely something is wrong there? Or is TLC meant as cache and QLC is used as main memory?

According to the news article www.anandtech.com/show/16587/kingston-introduces-nv1-entryle..., it is really a ridiculous 480TB. And Kingston probably doesn't specify whether the cheap crap QLC is on it or not. I wouldn't buy them.
I wouldn't buy it as a system partition either. But I will use it as a Steam drive in my second M.2 slot. Not much is written there. And it's certainly faster than my "old" sata ssd, even if it's not particularly fast for an M.2. Plus I now have twice as much memory and two cables less in the housing. Just because it doesn't fit your application doesn't necessarily mean it's cheap shit 😉
