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.

The Team Group EX2 delivers
fairly solid write speeds within its SLC cache. However, sustained write speeds tank drastically after the cache is full. The EX2 wrote 358GB worth of data at a rate of 460 MBps before degrading to snail-like speeds of just 15 MBps. Fortunately, the SSD implements fast cache recovery to regain some of that space if needed. After given just 30 seconds of idle time, the EX2 recovered roughly 100GB of its SLC cache.
I can afford to pay five dollars extra for a better brand. I can't afford to lose 512GB of storage.
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…
what do you mean by this "
I was going to buy some flash drives to expand some FireTVs" ? do u mean Fire TV sticks?

I mean Amazon FireTV units. But you can also expand FireTV sticks if that's what you're looking for.
The advertised speeds of the Kingstons 400 series are slightly lower than this drive, tho I doubt you would ever notice a real-world difference.
For these low end SSD's I think its like buying bottled water - name brands are a little more spensive but will you taste a difference? Maybe? Prolly not? Will they all make you less thirsty? Id hope so.

Team reamed. Sounds painful. Sorry for the pun

I thought without moving head, platters. ssd shouldn't be doing that snail speed.

Maybe it's a limitation of controller used in this SSD. Search for this review in TomsHardware and take a look at it.. They might've included the rationale behind slow write speed post cache fill.
