meanwhile, i've seen several nvme oem parts (both qlc and tlc types) in dell and hp systems fail at less than 10 terabytes written.
I definitely want to know more about this. Was this in an actual test environment, or could it be caused by a lot more reads/writes than expected due to something like using nvme's as RAM through page files/swapfile?
Not all nand flash are the same. Those drives (without reading the article) were probably MLC. Modern nand storage use TLC b/c they're cheaper to produce allegedly. The gold tier of nand flash from what I recall would be SLC which I don't think they even make or sell anymore for regular SATA or NVMe storage.
