I have several of these SSDs as cache discs in various NAS systems (QNAP / Synology). Despite very good cooling and sporadic writing, one after the other fails after 1-2 years (already 3 failures). Not recommended.

Use 2x1 GB as SSD cache storage in a Synology 1522+.

Works well. So far, I'm just using it as a boot drive and ~450 GB (~418 GiB) of it as a read cache for my HDDs, and I'm not noticing any issues or slowdowns.

I run the SSDs in a UGreen NAS as a cache. Running!

Yes, I know that the Red is suitable for e.g. caching in the NAS, but it also works very well in normal PCs.
PCIe 3 is totally sufficient for everyday use. You will probably only notice the difference when loading game data with hundreds of GB. On the other hand, this stick has a high TBW and DRAM cache, and is much easier to buy than "real enterprise" SSDs.
