Does anyone have a list of SSD manufacturers that don't do this? Are SK Hynix and Intel still reliable?

- londons_explore 5y agoAll manufacturers multi-source parts. That will always have some very minor impact on power/reliability at least. The difference here is it makes a major difference. See also:. Apple sourcing 4g modems from both intel and Qualcomm, and the performance being quite different so they disabled features of qualcomms chip to make them similar.
- wmf 5y agoAll manufacturers multi-source parts. No, not really. The whole point of buying Samsung SSDs is that they're guaranteed to contain a Samsung controller and Samsung NAND. Likewise with Hynix or WD/SanDisk.

- upbeat_general 5y agoThe new controller is still a samsung controller. Just a newer one.
- proto-n 5y agoLinus and Luke (of ltt) had a brief discussion about this on yesterday's WAN show [1], might be somewhat relevant. They mention intel and sk hynix as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w3biMwl9m4&t=1584s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w3biMwl9m4&t=1584s
