The page names the exact model, so it is MTBF and not MTTF. It lists 3500 MB/s read and 3150 MB/s write, so it is the China-market listing. The global store and Amazon pages state no MTBF. Stored on the base only, so every capacity inherits it8Press articleithome.com/0/673/093.htmRead 21 October 2026ITHome deal article dated 13 February 2023 on the S500 Pro 2TB in China, repeating the maker's JD.com copy: 平均无故障工作时间 150 万小时, 1.5 million hours MTBF, with a 5 year warranty. ITHome articles 0/678/135 and 0/683/594 repeat the same line. The same copy claims Yangtze Memory flash and 3500/3150 MB/s, which conflict with the global pages and the iXBT teardown chip markings, so no flash maker is stored.

A plain idle figure with no low-power state, often near 1 W, is active idle and is not stored. Samsung's Idle with DIPM on is a SATA link power state, so it counts as low-power idle.
