There's no shortage of quality SSD deals to be had.

If you are basing it on change TBW of PNY CS3030, there was no component switching and there was no performance difference.
Kingston is one of the best brands around. PNY nvme drives are good value drives with excellent performance.
The only component switching I would worry about is when the performance gets downgraded. The only ones that have done that as far as I know is Adata.
Samsung and Crucial have switched controllers with no performance difference for example.

Like I said, almost every manufacturer has changed components - NAND or Controllers as they have gone through rapid changes.

What you want to avoid are proven performance changes like the Adata or the SMR drive introduction.
What companies aren't on your blacklist?
I have an old PC that I breathed some life into with a Samsung EVO SSD 860 EVO 1TB [amazon.com] (purchased in Nov 2019 for $110. It's currently $140.)
That PC has sat unused for over a year, and I want to use that EVO 1TB in my primary computer for extra storage (slotting between my NVME main drive and HDD bulk storage), but I don't want to completely kill the old one. This $30 drive will be just fine in my old PC, and allow me to use the bigger/better drive in my new PC.

I was responding to the post that labeled the entire company as if it was (1) recent and (2) unique to two companies to avoid all products.
Adata is on my blacklist because they were the most eggregious in replacing reviewed product quickly with a demonstrabally low performance components, so I am sympathetic to that kind of decision.
But there are a lot of blogs and articles flying around just detecting a component change as evidence of fraud or scam. Samsung replaced a controller almost silently but it was to a newer controller from 4th Gen into a 3rd Gen.
There are valid reasons to replace components over a model's life time and changing the model name or number midway is expensive marketing and packaging-wise. So, I would judge what the impact of the change is before knee-jerking on the whole compant hearing of a component change.
Samsung and Crucial have switched controllers with no performance difference for example.
I am inclined to be a little harder on ADATA. Some of their changes make a large difference in performance. Also, they can be downright dishonest in their advertising, such as advertising a DRAM cache on a drive that most people would consider DRAM-less (SU760).

Samsung did replace the controller in 970 Evo Plus but that was an upgrade in a way.

But unfortunately news of changes get weaponized in social media especially with articles and blogs that simply insinuate rather than investigate and/or test.
I agree with you that not all component changes are necessarily bad or even make a difference.
ADATA is the only clear case of bad faith deceptive practices I know of.
