I'm already avoiding buying newer SSDs because the durability is dropping off a cliff.
I'm really scared of them cramming more and more bits in the same cell. Every time they double that number it's got to be cutting the write longevity in half. Unless they've got some other thing they can do to increase that.
TLC or bust for me.
I'd only consider QLC for low write high read situations like a NAS that serves as media storage.
