3000 TBW is actually for the 4TB ($285.00), the 2TB ones have 1200TBW (non-pro, $109.99) and 1400 TBW for the Pro version ($119.00).

Spec sheet says pro is only 1400 TBW. Don't know why they're giving out 2 very different numbers but based on their spec sheet the pro is hardly worth it.

Looking around the internet (Amazon, toms hardware, etc.) it looks like everywhere else lists it as 1400 TBW.

I sent an email to get clarification and will post when they reply. Logically, manufacturers increase the TBW for larger drives vs their smaller 1TB drives. If it is 1400 TBW, it is better than the 2TB WD_SN770 at 1200 TBW. Spatium's 1TB has 1600 TBW (4TB has 3000 TBW) and a 1TB WD SN770 has 600 TBW. (Crucial P3 Plus 440TBW, Sandisk SDSSDA3N-2T00-G26 is at 100TBW!).
1TB 2TB 4TB
WD 600 1200 n/a
Spatium. 1600 1400 3000

Spatium vs WD SN770 MTBF is 1.5 Million hours and 1.75 Million hours respectively). DRAM is nice, but reliability is king for my use.
Context: I have a Dell with PCIe Gen 3 so Gen 4 is wasted on my desktop and am looking for bang for the buck, under $130 for 2TB. Odds are it isn't 3000 like the 4TB but somewhere in between, I'm guessing 2400). At anything over 2000TBW, I will pull the trigger and get one for the Dell and another for use as an external for my MBP Thunderbolt.

Hopefully you have it unplugged from your system and sitting in an enclosure if you need anything off of it.

With the right software, you still have a shot at retrieving some data, though likely not all.

This is partly why most backup drives should still be mechanical.

No. All your drives with important data should have redundancy. Think ZFS.

I really miss those price points. I've been searching now for a few days, and "deals" are far and few between. I'm thinking of just jumping on this one.

Everything else is roughly $15-20 more...

The Original post said 300TBW and it seem kinda low but your right. The manufacture website spec sheet said 1400 TBW. I Did order this NVMe drive the first time because it seem its near the Top End of PCIe 4.0 drives.
