I'm not aware of any other drive that comes with a 10 year warranty.

Shouldn't the warranty just be treated as marketing hype with the
manufacturers knowing that the majority of users will move onto another
better computer/disk well within that timespan. Furthermore a 10 year
warranty does not mean that the device will last that long.

Of course a warranty is no substitute for backups.

SSDs have a wear-rate and drive manufacturers do seem to assign
warranties to devices in relation to their lifespan (note reducing
warranty length on SATA drives in recent years).
