Not for your home/gaming setup.
Good price is you need to upgrade storage in your PowerEdge server.
Dell NZ has this listed at $2,762.50 so this is a steal at the clearance price.

SATA, TLC and rated for 1DWPD, it would only JUST last longer than the average consumer drive.
Being Enterprise doesn't directly mean higher endurance, being Enterprise means it meets more consistent standards, and the datasheets are very detailed so you can make informed decisions based on your use case. This is a "read-intensive" drive because the endurance is very low for an enterprise drive, and reads don't cause wear.
Endurance is comparable across enterprise SSDs via the drive writes per day (DWPD) metric, 1 is very mediocre, but it can get as low as 0.3 (or worse for QLC). High endurance is 10-25DWPD like these drives:

The Samsung 860 Pro, for example, is 0.66DWPD (1200TBW/5 years/365 days/1TB):

I wouldn't recommend this at this price UNLESS you MUST buy new for your company policy, you'd be better off getting a used HGST SAS SSD with 10DWPD or more like the one described above if you're putting it in a server. It is very rare that any server in the compatible list on the product page would not support SAS.
An 800GB 10DWPD drive has 8-9x the endurance of one of these, and it's rare even used ones have less than half the life remaining.
I'm awaiting the comments for "this consumer grade rive is cheaper"
Not cheapest per gig but it will definitely last much longer than your average consumer drive. However
Eastdigital is much cheaper overall but I guess if your in a pinch for something fast time is money
