Even Samsung "Pro" flagship consumer SSDs are using TLCs nowadays. I want to believe they found a way to make TLCs suck less. At least, they can sustain the throughput on benchmarks, but I'm yet to find some benchmark on durability (vs past MLC iterations).
Samsung rates the 990 Pro 1TB model at 600 TBW vs 800 TBW from the 960 Pro (MLC)... It's bad, but a shot I would take for the much better performance (4 times IOPS) if those numbers are to be trusted.
In my opinion they all have quite good GiB-per-dollar value these days for what they really are: a medium that's crazy fast to read from, but crazy slow to write to.
I upgraded my moms pc from spinning rust to semi-cheap SSD and Windows 10 now boots in seconds rather minutes. Reads are what matter most for most people
Actually, I've taken the Kingston as my OS drive for my lab computer. The storage for my VMs is a bunch of datacenter SSDs at quite different price points, and the performance shows.
