Good m.2 ssd for write endurance (alien.top)

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.

Typically any server nvme SSD with mlc or enterprise tlc. 960gb / 1.92tb / 3.84tb. 800gb or 1.6tb if really need high write, they can be pricey though
