The bottom line An honestly worded warranty whose key figure is missing, on a page that publishes both rates and nothing about the drive underneath them. The one line that names a written total is the one line that does not carry a number.
On the listing
A two-terabyte internal solid-state drive in the 2.5-inch format on SATA III, quoted at 540 MB/s reading and 500 MB/s writing for computer and laptop upgrades; ultra-fast reading of up to 540 MB/s and writing of up to 500 MB/s for quick file access and storage; faster starting and quicker access to applications; reliable access to high-resolution images and ultra-high-definition video; greater durability than a spinning drive for want of moving parts, with compatibility across laptops, desktop machines and Mac computers; low power draw, silent operation and cooler running in the 2.5-inch format; a three-year maker’s warranty, or a written total, whichever applies, with support from a team based in the United Kingdom; and a maker describing itself as British with more than thirty years in storage.
A limit named and not given
Three years, or a written total, whichever comes first. That is the correct way to word a solid-state warranty and this page words it correctly. It then declines to say what the total is. The result is a term whose length is known and whose earliest possible end is not, which is a specific and unusual gap: most pages here omit the total by omitting the whole subject, and this one omits it after raising it.
Both rates, and nothing under them
Reading and writing are published twice each. Below those two numbers the page is silent: no controller, no memory type, no figure in IOPS. Every drive on this interface reaches roughly the same ceiling, so those silent lines are where two drives actually differ, and both of this page’s figures were largely settled by the connector.
Two terabytes, in the maker’s unit
The capacity is printed as two terabytes and reported here in that unit. A machine counting in units of 1024 will display a smaller number for the same drive, which is a difference of convention rather than a shortfall, and nothing on this page recalculates it in either direction.
Where the support sits
The sixth and seventh bullets name a country for the support team and a country for the maker. That is checkable, unlike a claim of good service, and on a warranty that runs three years it decides who answers the telephone. It is a reasonable thing to lead the last two bullets with.
Before ordering
Ask for the written total. It is named on this page as a limit on the cover, so the seller has it, and without it the three years cannot be weighed against any rival.
Availability
Priced from 218 € to 233 € across the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores the day this page was checked.
It is stocked on the British Amazon store as well, in that country’s own currency. The range above leaves those out: it counts euro stores and no others.
In the American Amazon catalogue with no live offer against it: the reference exists, nobody is filling it.

Where it holds up, and where it stops
Strengths
Both sequential figures are published, in the title and again in the first bullet
The warranty is worded honestly, naming the written total as a limit rather than presenting three years as unconditional
The maker names where it is based and where its support sits, which is checkable rather than atmospheric
Compromises
The written total that bounds the warranty is never stated, so the term cannot be evaluated at all
No controller, no memory type and no figure in IOPS, which is where two drives sharing this interface differ
Seven bullets and three of them describe what solid-state storage is rather than what this drive is
Specifications
Capacity
2 TB — printed in the title, in the maker’s unit and reported here in that unit without conversion
Form factor
2.5-inch — printed in the title and named again in the fifth bullet, which describes the low draw of a drive in that format
Height
Not published on the listing — the format is given in inches twice and no thickness appears, on a page whose first bullet offers the drive for laptop upgrades
Stated sequential read figure
Up to 540 MB/s — printed in the title and repeated in the first bullet, both times as a reading speed
Stated sequential write figure
Up to 500 MB/s — printed in the title and repeated in the first bullet, forty below the reading figure
Stated random IOPS
Not published on the listing — no figure in IOPS appears in the title or in the seven bullets
TBW rating
Not published on the listing as a figure — the sixth bullet makes a written total one of the two limits at which the three-year warranty ends, and never says what that total is. The quantity is named and its value is withheld
Stated MTBF
Not published on the listing — no figure in hours appears; the fourth bullet offers durability against spinning drives as a comparison instead
DRAM cache presence
Not published on the listing — no memory chip on the drive is claimed and no arrangement for working without one is named
Controller family
Not published on the listing — no controller and no memory type is named anywhere in the title or the seven bullets
Warranty length
Three years from the maker, or a written total, whichever arrives first — stated in the sixth bullet, which names both limits and quantifies only the first

The questions that come up before an order
What is the effect of a warranty limited by a total that is not published?
The period becomes the only part a buyer can weigh. A term ending at three years or at a stated number of terabytes written, whichever arrives first, is the normal wording and a reasonable one; it works because both halves are usually printed. With one half withheld, the earliest the cover could end is unknown. Asking the seller for the figure is the only way to close that gap.
Does a two-terabyte drive write more before wearing out than a one-terabyte one?
Generally yes, because the writing is spread across twice as many cells and each cell accepts a finite number of cycles. Makers reflect this by publishing a larger written total for the larger capacity in the same range. Which is exactly the figure this page does not give, so the relationship holds in principle and cannot be read here in practice.
1 TB · 2.5-inch · up to 540 MB/s read · dynamic write acceleration named · 256-bit hardware encryption to three named standards · three-year limited warranty · no write figure, no TBW, no MTBF
A one-terabyte drive that publishes a term, a named write acceleration mechanism and three encryption standards by name, and that never quantifies writing or endurance.
Best for: A machine where encryption to a named standard is a requirement and the drive will be read from far more than it is written to.
1 TB · 2.5-inch · SATA III at 6 Gbps · up to 550 MB/s read · up to 500 MB/s write · TBW rating of up to 480 TB · 2 million hours MTBF · shock resistance to 1500 G · no warranty term
A one-terabyte drive that publishes both sequential figures, a written total, a population statistic and a shock figure with its duration, and that names no warranty term at all.
Best for: A notebook or a desktop machine that is knocked about, where a shock rating and a written total matter and the term will be checked with the seller.
1 TB · 2.5-inch · SATA III at 6 Gb/s · up to 550 MB/s read · three years, in a bullet that ends before it names what lasts · no write figure, no TBW, no MTBF
A one-terabyte drive whose interface and reading figure are published twice over, and whose fifth bullet gives three years and a limitation and then stops before naming what runs for three years.
Best for: An older laptop or desktop machine where a spinning drive is being replaced and a stated term matters more than a full sheet of figures.
