TEAMGROUP MP44L 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4
And is western digital blue reliable?
TLC memory stores 3 bits in every memory cell , QLC memory stores 4 bits in each memory cell but it takes more time to actually write those bits in the memory cell so if the write cache is full, you get much slower write speeds to the drive.
Because there's 4 bits packed in every cell, QLC has much lower endurance, the flash wears out faster.
The Teamgroup drive you link to also uses TLC and looking at specs, it looks pretty ok. Probably has smaller write cache (the 1 TB version seems to be limited to maximum 69 GB of write cache, so the 2 TB would be double that) but usually you wouldn't write tens of gigabytes daily to the drive.
I can't say anything about that MSI Spatium M482 other than the price is misleading, it's only $109 if you buy it directly from MSI website, it's $125 on amazon... wouldn't trust a company store to process order fast, ship it well to me, not have package lost and be unable to do anything about it, at least Amazon I've used before. The Spatium 480 according to specs is fine, so if 482 is just a refined 480 it would be fine.
