should be free with or without prime as it's >$39
QLC an issue?
Not sure - cannot see if it has cache or not. Has fairly high write cycle life - according to a review on new egg
2TB version has TBW of 531 and 1TB version has 274 so a little over a 1/3rd of the writeable lifespan of a TLC NVME drive like the Kingston A2000 (1TB is 600TBW)
Seagate specification sheet doesn't mention onboard ram for caching so it's probably dramless.
Wow, that's pathetic endurance for the 2TB. For comparison the 500GB Ironwolf 510 has 650TBW, and the 2TB - 2600TBW.
Definitely a more, write once, read many kinda application at 0.2 DWPD for the 2TB model.
I won't debate a higher endurance rating being a good indication of a more durable drive.
However, most users are not going to be writing even 100TB over the lifetime of their drive.

Most users. OzB users are a different breed!
Just concerned it may be a Prime member only deal

Is it ok to use for Acer Nitro 5 I just bought ?
It should be, most modern laptops are designed to use these drives BUT read the manual, you might need to have a heat sink installed and also you might be limited to size of the physical drive.
back to original price :(
1TB $124.50 M.2 NVMe SSD Is this a good deal?
Or this 1TB $123.95 I cant tell the differences between them, apart from the brand.
I am new to this M.2 SSD world.
I'd go for the Crucial P1 since it has a DRAM cache.
Will work on ps5?
ps5 only supports pcie gen4. so no
No need for prime, free postage on orders over $39 from Amazon AU. It's only when purchasing from Amazon that ships from US where this doesn't apply.
