Looking into this further, I came across this website: https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/internal-... If you expand ("view more") the spec page, you get this list of guarantees:

    MZ-V9P1T0BW (1TB)
    5-year or 600 TBW limited warranty

    MZ-V9P2T0BW (2TB)
    5-year or 1200 TBW limited warranty

    MZ-V9P4T0BW (4TB)
    5-year or 2400 TBW limited warranty

This could just be a localisation issue. Different SKUs have different TBW guarantees, and whoever copy/pasted the number may just have copied over the wrong localisation file. If they started translating the 2TB version and then copied that translation over to the 1TB and 4TB versions, it'd explain why the numbers are different.

It would also explain why the Dutch website lists the 2400TBW number in English.
