Is NVME U.2 SSD suitable for use at personal pc?
More durable than m2 SSDs, with a lower failure rate. The disadvantage is that you need a mid-range or high-end motherboard to enjoy PCIE 4.0x4 and additional fans for cooling. I bought a second-hand PM9A3, it's great, 3.84TB only costs $170 and the Health Status is 100%. What is your opinion on this?

I think you underestimate the endurance of an SSD. My computer is fully Samsung SSDs (sata and nvme) and I use it for 16 hours/day. I download torrents (heavily, legal content only!) on SSDs and they're yet to reach any kind of critical levels.
I like to consider myself a pretty heavy user, if you're an occasional user... a regular M2 will be moooore than enough.
Regarding the PCIE3/PCIE4/PCIE5, again, very less likely you'll personally feel or notice a difference. Benchmarks, yes, normal use, no.
If you already bought it and works in your system, then sure it is great. I wouldn't go out of my way to build a system that supports it though, regular (NVMe) SSDs have enough endurance for most regular users.
Don't know what you mean "personal pc" here but NVMe is good enough imho.
They're all going to laugh at your personal pc anyways. They can't see what's on the inside, and that's what really matters.
Nothing bad will happen to you, but it's overkill. If you're using any sort of adapter, [chances are] it will fail before the drive.
