TBW is an acronym for Terabytes Written Samsung has 600 TB rating

so it means that it can write six hundred terabytes of data onto the drive and as Kingston has only five hundred thousand gigabytes of data written on their drive,

personally I would get 970 Evo if I were you. It also has more speed as compared. So I insist you spend extra 20 bucks or so to get a 970 Evo.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Sir, it means that you can write 600 Terabytes of data onto it

You would say that the drive is only 1 tb so how can i write 600 TB on the drive.?

The answer is that no mater the actual capacity there is rating if it was filled then the drive will stop working or fail or something bad happens as you are never getting the 600 TB writes on the drive in 20 years on day to day basis.

So the drive remains new.

actually the drive itself does not fails the next day the TBW is achieved, but the manufacturers say that there is a risk of drive failure so you should replace it and the TBW is warranty value of the drive itself
