Those numbers are just what the company is willing to cover under warranty. Despite what many think, they really shouldn't be considered a good indicator of quality or how long the drive will last. Value brands (like Team Group) know that most people will never come remotely close to those numbers but it gives them something seemingly appealing to advertise. Aside from that, fewer people will bother to RMA a cheap Team Group drive, compared to something better and more expensive like a Samsung or Crucial drive. I am firmly of the opinion that most people put way too much stock in those TBW numbers. For reference, you'd have to average over 560GB of writes per day to hit 1000TB in 5 years. Most people aren't going to be writing that much per month.

No DRAM yet it boasts 1000TBW endurance. Is the rating made up? What sorcery is this?
