Looking to use an m.2 drive as a boot drive in an r740xd. I won’t be using it for cache so write endurance isn’t critical but I would still like something that will last a long time.

Seems like some form of mlc drive would fit the bill such as a 970 pro. I don’t mind shelling out a bit if it means I won’t have to migrate boot devices during the life of this server. 1-2TB is adequate for me.

Looking for other recommendations. I’ve heard optane is quite good but that seems to be overkill for my use case.
