Thanks for clearing that up Teamgroup, now I know the exact differences in your models.

And the Advanced AX2 (silver + orange) is made exclusively for amazon to sell, and the Elite EX2 (silver + blue) is not exclusive and is up to 550 read vs 540... and the difference in the guts of these models is... what exactly?

I have a few teamgroup SSDs, all work great, but damn comparing the specs on their models is just silly. They do have a comparison function on their site that is... well useless.

They literally look identical in specs, features and performance.

Id be curious as to which controller each uses.

LOL at this comment, people STILL post this ignorance?:

5.0 out of 5 stars Great affordable SSD
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on April 17, 2021
Color: 512GBVerified Purchase
My previous SSD was Gigabyte NAND 240 GB, which was working great for sometime, then it started giving a weird problem, system partition get deleted automatically resulting windows failed to boot or boot drive not found messages. I have no clue why was it happening, formatted my pc several times due to this issue, then I decided to buy new SSD, so I bought this. But unfortunately my problem was not solved as this new Silicon Power SSD giving the same problem as I have mentioned above. Besides that its a great affordable SSD, performance is really great, boot time is only 8 second. However, only 476 GB is usable out of 512 GB, almost 36 GB is compromised, I wonder where it's being used.

I don't know what controller is in them, but from the AX2 Product Page [teamgroupinc.com] it reads:
  • 512GB Read: Up to 530MB/s Max ; Write: 470MB/s ; > 400TBW
And the EX2 Product Page [teamgroupinc.com] reads
  • Read/Write: up to 550/520 MB/s ; > 400TBW
In my experience, I own the AX2 and it hasn't failed or slowed down on me yet.

Yeah I read that too - what Im wondering is - are these numbers accurate? If so, what makes these numbers different in these drives? Are there any other factors that make these drives different?

The EX2 was on sale at newegg last week for the same price..

Was that a better deal for a drive that is (possibly) ~2-3% faster?

With the exception of an improbable failure, Im guessing there would be no real world difference a human could notice between these drives, its just driving me nuts not knowing if they are basically the same or have something different about them.

Quite possibly nothing. I'm convinced these companies just buy barrels of the cheapest NAND and controllers they can find and then slap them into whatever drive they feel like making that day. Okay, that may be a very slight exaggeration. However, I would expect there to be little difference between these cheap bargain-bin drives from so many companies. I no longer put any stock into those SSD databases/spreadsheets. Most of the drives I've popped open recently have had totally different guts.

Wow, these prices are getting ridiculous!

I was going to buy some flash drives to expand some FireTVs…but at this point I can't not get something like this coupled with a USB cable…
