Random anecdote but I usually run Samsung (8X0 Pro) or Western Digital (Blue/Black) when I need cheap consumer NVMe drives. Otherwise I run used Intel enterprise SSDs with lots of life. Any component can fail but I have had good luck so far with these (fingers crossed). Of course, take frequent backups of any important storage.

I've had issues with WD Blue recently. MacOS intermittently wouldn't boot on a 3-month-old drive. I wonder how much is shared between this product and the Sandisk, given that WD now own Sandisk?
