This drive could have intel, micron, or YMTC NAND. Controller will be different depending on the NAND. You're rolling the dice and what hardware you will get. I personally hate YMTC NAND because I had a lot of it fail.

YMTC is a Chinese manufacturer. They make chips on older lithography (due to sanctions and lagging domestic tech) using, let's say "borrowed", memory technology.

Given the bottom of the barrel pricing, I would be good money this is YMTC hardware.

I got a 4TB open box Samsung 990 pro (regarded as the best NVME on the market) on eBay for $20 more. It had 0 power cycles and TBW (Terabytes written) on it so it was new.

Could be QLC or TLC depends on variant they ship. Doesn't say TLC on the newegg page at this price expect the QLC model.

interesting: if it failed the first time, why did you still have a lot of it??

Everything Chinese is bad according to us Americans. But if they are not bad, we'll still say they're bad and if you don't agree, we'll call you a Chinese nationalist! Yelp, sometimes the discussion is not even about the product anymore. Most of us have never left America but we're experts and don't offend us because we read a lot things on the Internet

Do run a SMART long test on that drive (if you didn't). SMART details are fakable, the long test is as well but seems to be less likely to be faked than the short test results (maybe requires more expertise to fake those). A couple refurbished HDD's I've bought showed great results on short SMART tests but on the long test revealed they had been used for thousands of hours EEK!

Which YMTC NAND have you had fail? My understanding is their 232-layer TLC is quite well regarded. The older 128L may be another story. Also, let's not pretend all their technology is stolen. I believe NAND manufacturers like Samsung and SK Hynix are licensing their 3D Xtacking technology.

That said, I'm not defending or recommending the KingSpec drive. I'm quite wary of those, though I have no personal experience with them.

Cheap? Yes. Expecting great performance and durability? No. Trust it with your data? Don't.

I have heard, not sure if it's true: Many big-name brands, to cut the cost, "recycle" their products that have minor defects and thus not meeting the standards - sell to small manufacturers who then rebrand them with cheaper price. Kingspec is just one of them.

There is a reason these cheap low-quality SSD still sells. Not all computers are used for keeping valuable data. You get what you pay for.

Why you do have lots of YMTC NAND if they keep failing? Can you provide objective proof of your claims, such as benchmarks on Youtube, or large-scale surveys about SSDs? With proof, do you work on servers or provide tech support for a company with hundreds of employees?

The large majority of NewEgg reviews said this KingSpec SSD had superior bang for the buck in regard to price, storage size, & speed, but a small minority of reviews said the SSD was slower than expected for massive data transfers. A tiny minority of reviewers said the SSD had reliability problems. One reviewer even said SSDs from Western Digital (US company) were less reliable & more expensive than SSDs were from KingSpec (China company).

My Huawei tablet from China has been working well since 2018. Huawei company still has lots of good reviews on older to newer products & growing sales around the world, even though the US has been applying global sanctions against Huawei & other China tech companies.
