A decent rule of thumb if that if a drive uses TLC, it will probably say so in the spec sheet.

If it's left ambiguous then it's either QLC, or a lottery where the "same" model may be TLC or QLC.

Kingston NV2 is in that "what you get may differ" category, and Kingston explicitly says that what you get may change. I have two NV2s with differing die count, for example. Their controller might be different too. They're external, short-use drives, so I don't care.

So, returning to previously mentioned ones, from their respective datasheets:

    - 870 EVO: Samsung V-NAND 3bit MLC
    - 980 Pro: Samsung V-NAND 3bit MLC
    - 990 Pro: Samsung V-NAND TLC
    - KC3000: NAND: 3D TLC
    - NV2: NAND: 3D // Explicit Lottery.

A bit confused … the article is about Ssd drive with 500- M. Is what it said and discussed more details here applied to nvme drive with 1000+ M. Same?
