Sorry for being cynical, but the quoted TBW, if you translate to cell write cycles, is quite high for TLC (i.e. it is brave for the maker to claim that value). Perhaps they are willing to do the warranty for 5 years with high TBW.
A translated 1 star review (originally written in German):
Steer clear of this product. A total of 4 pieces of TS2TMTE220S 2TB were bought from two different suppliers. The manufacturer specifies the SSDs with an overwrite capacity of 1.2 times the data carrier capacity, valid for a period of 5 years (DWPD 1.2 for 5 years). MTBF = 2 million hours, therefore quite suitable for permanent use.
All 4 pieces are no longer visible in the system after 3.5 months at the latest = died. The SSDs were used both as data carriers for the operating system and application and as mirrored cache data carriers in a NAS.
Amazon German's support on the reviewer's SSDs was subpar. So, you will be counting on Amazon AU providing the red carpet service for the next 5 years. Don't get me wrong, Amazon AU's service is great, but the issue is that it is much better than Amazon USA and Germany. Thing is, Amazon USA's service was really great 4-5 years ago.
4400 TBW? Wow!
This has the Silicon Motion SM2262EN controller according to this benchmark review. Also some benchmark pictures in that review too. The benchmark was in German but Google was nice enough to auto translate.
