Although I have had no issues with my 1TB SPCC M.2 PCIe SSD, somehow I worry if it takes the heavy workload I put to it. I doubt this was intended to my use case.
Mostly I am concerned about a sudden failure, as I can’t afford downtime.
Would someone recommend enterprise class PCIe storage? I wouldn’t mind if it’s a PCIe card as I do have open slot. If money could bring some added safety in terms of reliability or support I would be happy to spend it.
What ssd do you have now? How much do you write to it per day?
I have this one
I write often 100gb+ per day, sometimes over that.
I have secondary nvme slot occupied with Samsung Evo 970 512 but somehow 3ds Max sometimes says files are corrupted if I write to that. It works fine with other apps though.
What doesn’t help reliability or their brand image is that their website is down

can’t download their software either
Your ssd is rated for 1665 TBW, according to the spec. I found them in this review: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/silicon-power-p34a80-pcie-gen3x4-m-2-nvme-ssd,6180.html
At 100 GB pr day, you’ll write 36,5 TB a year. So it’ll take you 45,6 years to wear it out.
In all fairness, with those writes it would probably live a bit longer as TBW is manufacturers expected and warranted lifespan with some reserve and variance, so at that kind of workloads it could last up to 50 years if you’re lucky.
