QLC, but has DRAM. The Phison E12S controller actually has good performance.

A combination of 96 layer QLC NAND flash and a physically smaller controller/RAM combination package.

Yes, but unless you're running some specialized tasks, you probably won't gain much real-world performance from it versus a single drive. See https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gDe3S0pGiAU from about the 13 minute mark for a few benchmarks.

Price is way out of line with price per TB around $100.. come back with a 12-14tb drive for this price. Only fools are early adopters at this price.

Someone has to be the fool now or we all look foolish later.

Just a FYI clarification: $460 for Adata SX8100

I didn't post it, because I didn't think anyone cared (and HP EX950 was favored over SX8200 Pro even though 8200 is objectively better). It came up for less than a day, 2-3x times (sold out within each day), and then was up for a week on promotion before going back up to $800 and then going back to $600.
I'm guessing they got new stock to meet demand.
