Data loss aside (and that’s obviously a pretty difficult thing to put aside for a data storage device), their “steep discount” still seems to be $50 - 100 more expensive than an equivalent or better 4TB NVMe drive plus an enclosure. And while I know techies like me can sometimes be a bit too quick to say “build it yourself, it’s easy!”, the one off step of putting an m.2 drive in an enclosure is quite literally no harder than plugging in a USB drive.

Sheesh. I had just ordered the 1TB model based on Wirecutter's recommendation. Cancelled.
