Look, The spreadsheet is not a silver bullet ! It can help you get some crucial info about the drives which you don’t get on the box or online listings like use of DRAM/HBM and the underlying NAND (TLC/QLC) used to store actual data.

Companies swap components so often that no one can keep all the records as you have to actually buy drives regularly to cross verify them which is just not feasible.

Sometimes it’s a good thing like denser NAND (176L > 64L) could offer larger capacity drives. Other times it’s a cash grab when they swap out a 8-ch controller for a 4-ch one after the initial few batches while charging the same price.

I also said to have a look at r/newmaxx because you will find review links posted there of various drives from other publications like Tom’s hardware, Anandtech, Techpowerup, etc.

PS : Don’t trust one source, have a look at multiple reviews and listen to other’s commentary then form your own opinion.

Before buying a SSD just have a look at newmaxx’s spreadsheet. You will find the details of the drive over there. It is well maintained and updated quite regularly. If you still want more details then just look for the drive on r/newmaxx for the reviews.
