Kingston KC3000 supposedly uses Micron 176L TLC memory [1].
The Seagate Firecuda 530 datasheet clearly says "Built with a Seagate-validated E18 controller and the latest 3D TLC NAND". A review is more precise: "Phison PS5018-E18" & "Micron B47R 176-layer 3D TLC NAND" [2].

- userbinator 2y agoB47R is indeed TLC, rated for only 1000 cycles (and 35k in SLC mode, at 1/3 the capacity.) There's also the question of whether this is "true" Micron NAND, or SpecTek which is basically Micron's rejects (and rated for even fewer cycles; only 300 in the case of their B16A.)
