480GB is a mediocre capacity, not a massive one. 2TB would be large. 10TB would be massive.

Warranty length is in the chart - 3 years. No mention of total writes. Prices (not posted by the OP) are $123 for 240GB, $220 for 480GB. You can get a Samsung 960 Evo 250GB for $127, 500GB for $243, with much better specs, so the prices aren't that good.

Chart was not in the original posting. ;) And yeah, these prices aren't awesome, a 960 EVO is a much better buy at around this same price.
