Upgraded KC3000. Just slightly faster.

Lexar used to be premium CF card manufacturer, now dono, now seems like tom dick and harry can come out own SSD

i have a kingston fury renegade 2TB
it runs cooler than many NVMe SSDs out there due to its graphene heatspreader
other than that virtually no difference (fury renegade has slightly higher peak read speed and TBW on paper, zero real world differences)

no experience on this brand. perhaps it's capable of selling both shit and good products. saw some cheap SSDs from them e.g. Ace A55, those are entry level SSDs identical to NQ100
I've also noticed that sometimes they have 2 different versions for the same model and same capacity
for example, XS70 2TB has a Phison E18 controller + Micron 176-layer TLC NAND, then all the sudden they changed it to an inferior InnoGrit IG5236 + YMTC 128-layer TLC, which performs worse than the Phison + Micron combo and has higher failure rate due to the InnoGrit controller

SP is one of the more recent & capalang Taiwan brands, its only USP is that its dirt cheap compared to others but better than obscure China brands. It also has drives in the insane high capacity, ie 4TB & 8TB.

Why its cheap? Cuz they carefree mix & match parts which can lead to huge difference in performance. Thats the reason why their website refuses to specify what type of controller (or NAND) they are using, or even whether its TLC or QLC.

Of course! Lexar used to be American now they are Chinese owned. Their just milking the Lexar brand name. Stay away from them.

Well. My phones are Chinese oppo realme, my portable ssd are Chinese SSK brand, so far so good for me. Price & performance also good quality

ya china is buying the whole world :X
