Personally, I'm more familiar with the Teamgroup brand, so would recommend that over Kingspec, which I've never heard of before.

Exposes their intention right from the start.
Exposes their intention right from the start.
Per this 2022 article [com.au], WD Blue SN550, Crucial P2, various PNY, Kingston NV1 had switched from TLC to QLC. Kingston has 15 known variants [techpowerup.com] of the popular NV2 model with varying TLC/QLC and controllers. The very popular (and recently discontinued after a 6 year run) Crucial MX500 2.5" SATA SSD with DRAM used to have 1GB RAM per 1TB of flash, but got reduced to 0.5GB RAM across the board around 2022 (plus moved from 64/96 to 172 layer TLC).
.
So is the TechPowerUp article suggesting that even though this is a MP44L, emphasis on L, Team Group could be shipping these with QLC? When mine arrives is there an easy way for me to varify if my MP44L has TLC or QLC?

Run the appropriate Flash ID [vlo.name] tool on it. It should be either the Phison NVMe Flash ID2 or the Maxio NVMe Flash ID.
