Thanks.
This was the first google result I got. Is one brand bettr than another or do you have to deep dive into their endurance properties to pick?

Maybe I'd be better off using an external drive in a cooler and/or stronger caddy. It's just annoying having to remember another thing to carry around.

hippy-
What do you use the laptop for?
High write endurance only matters if you’re constantly dumping massive files onto the drive, over and over, all day. Or running a high transaction rate database on it, writing millions of tiny blocks every second.
Just get a Samsung 980 Pro or WD SN850, it’ll be fine.

Micron and Kioxia are huge enterprise SSD manufacturers, along with Solidigm, Memblaze etc.
Most enterprise M.2 drives are of a different, longer, form factor than that of consumer drives, and most laptops can’t accommodate them.
They’re also more power-hungry and hotter than consumer drives.
Stick to high-end consumer drives in laptops.
