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.

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.

Unless you don't care if you lose everything and enjoy gambling.

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.
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.

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.
