  Umm.... I think there might be a typo there.
  
  "The drives are rated for up to 1 TBW (terabytes to be written) and two million hours MTBF, "
  
  That means that you can fill the drive once on a 1TB drive and the warranty is void? I see on the chart the 1TB drive is rated for... 1000TB? Perhaps you mean 1PBW? :)

  I noticed that, too. You beat me to it.
  
  I thought... buy a 1TB drive, fill it once, and it's dead? LOL
  
  Yes, 1,000 TBW.

  "for up to 1 PBW (terabytes to be written) and"
  
  TBW was changed to PBW but the "terabytes" in brackets is still the same.

  1TBW sounds perfectly reasonable for a 1TB PROM...

  What's really sad is that the background is a single photoshop filter that takes like 2 seconds to add.

  Legit NAND, legit controller, legit warranty, lets just hope legit firmware.

  Doesn't seem like long ago that those would have been pretty good specs for RAM.

  DWPD is better endurance measurement unit than TBW.
  For example, a 250GB SSD and a 1TB SSD both have the same 1000TBW and 5yr warranty, we could convert these date to DWPD, the values are 2.19DWPD vs 0.54DWPD, easy to find that the 250GB SSD is much more endurable.
