Last year, it was disappointing to see newer Adata XPG SX8200 Pro revisions were noticeably slower than the launch version. Since that time, there have been various others caught doing similar SSD component re-jigging. Earlier this week, WD admitted it replaced the NAND flash and updated the firmware in the WD Blue SN550, beginning in June 2021. It updated the data sheet, but most wouldn’t be aware that this drive might perform up to 50 per cent slower than the original revision, once its cache had been filled up. Patriot and Crucial have also been found switching SSD components in the last few months.

Almost all manufacturers in almost all markets are hutiya. If they stick with the same quality they loose out or have very less buyers who know what they are worth. They need to keep on "evolving" to compete in the market. They are not hutiya btw they know exactly what they are doing.

MLC NAND(980 PRO) VS TLC NAND(SN850) is there any real world difference regarding performance?
