Is TBW (Terabytes Written) the only measure of SSD lifespan?

If an SSD (looking at the 860 EVO) gives a warranty of "5 years or 600 TBW", can I trust the SSD to write 600TB before dying? or are there other factors that might make it die sooner?

For example, if I write 10TB per year to the drive, should it last 60 years? assuming I take physical care of it
