oversea purchase generally out of warranty after return period set by the seller, iirc.
that's the downside of it.

what you need is luck
I bought Gigabyte GPU from amazon but i was considered lucky, used it for many years until sold it off.

SSD is pretty durable, compare to HDD where one single drop would kill it, or infected by bad sector.

Just... don't get a cheap part and hope it will last...

Also if you want to RMA how? what if amazon say you pay the shipping, fly back to US and back to MY you can buy another SSD already, probably.

It depends on what games you're playing, unless you keep dying in game and needed to reload frequently
or the game has long loading time if changing map, ect, installing game in SSD might not improve fps nor reduce stutter,

I have stutter because either steam or Windows is downloading and updating game while im playing, this will cause the game stuttering badly,
I simply raise the game process priority to the highest and no more stuttering, plus enable game mode, Windows 10 wont disturb you during gaming session.

Cheaper way would be installing games on RAID 0 hdd, the burst read speed is much high than non raid sata ssd, around 1800MB/s for 50mb files, bigger files the read speed will drop further.

OR, get a Samsung 860 Evo with rapid mode enabled, your game read and write speed will off the chart, that will match the system RAM read and write speed if the ssd cached game map to RAM.
second option would be raid 0 with 2 SSD, but TRIM might not working depends on your mobo.
