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.

When I did a bulk test they all failed - hard. I'm not exaggerating when I say one device advertised 2t but held less than 64 gigs.
While one should rely on backups , I shouldn't have to worry about the data being there between day 1 and day 4. To that end , have any of these drives been run through a a good testing cycle?

All of these drives are low end. If you are worried about your data - back up back up back up. Thats 100x better than "relying" on a "premium" drive for "piece of mind" for data safety. Reinstalling an OS and apps takes literally minutes, even less if you are restoring from "system" or "image" back ups.
Additionally, DRAM (in drives that have it) performs a completely different role. It's main role is to store a copy of the mapping table (FTL), which tracks where data is physically stored in the NAND. DRAM does increase both performance and endurance because the controller doesn't have to constantly read/write FTL data directly from/to the NAND.
Backing up valuable data is essential, regardless of what drive you use. There is no drive with perfect reliability. Even if there were, there are intentional (malware) and unintentional (user mistakes) ways data can be lost from a drive that's in use.

While I've had issues with TeamGroup USB drives performing terribly and even losing data, all of them have tested at their claimed (admittedly low) capacity. I've only bought them from Amazon and Newegg.
