This should be illegal… - Manufacturers are swapping SSD components

[Kubus_X]

SM2262EN + Sandisk 96L + Samsung

Bought in September 2020 in Czech Republik from a local vendor.

The speeds are a bit lower, because the SSD is connected to the PCH.

I have Samsung 970 Pro connected to the CPU and I don't want to swap it right now.

Hey fresh account first time poster here; Saw this video and was surprised because I've been using this drive for a couple of years now. Bought it in 2019 from ADATA directly and have been using it as a boot drive since. Here's my data to add to the pile:

SM2262EN Controller - Micron 64L NAND - Samsung DRAM

Bait & switch is a common deception technique that's as old as time itself, but usually it's only seen being done by bad actors. What if I told you that this is happening today, right now, on sites like Amazon and Newegg, with some of the best selling SSDs?

 

My ADATA m.2 drive (Same as in video) died after 10 months due to 'overheating' completely fried. these assholes

Do I have any recourse?

I remembered this video when I recently watched a video by dosdude1 where he made a custom PATA SSD. This makes me wonder if anyone would be interested in a DIY board where you select the DRAM, controller, NAND flash, & size of capacitors. I was thinking of making it so you can use small or larger & more capacitors like they do for data center SSDs so you can clear the DRMA cache in the event of power loss.
