The NV2 has something like 12 different variants...

Wow. It has surpassed the super-famous SX8200 Pro with 15 against 11. Should be the first choice if you're looking for a surprise SSD.

Yeah this can go rot in a garbage pile. Competition in the market is necessary and very desirable but we don't need 20 companies repackaging the same chips with unreliable specs sheets.

For me it's either first party - that is WD, Samsung, Kioxia, SKhynix, Crucial - or nothing.

So you go looking for reliable spec sheets and 600 TBW per terabyte minimum. Then you can also include some of the (many) Corsair MP600 models (TLC and TBW in specs), MSI M480 Pro (E18 and TBW in specs), Kingston KC3000 and Fury Renegade (E18, TLC and TBW in specs).

I'm not aware of any manufacturer degrading the specifications after the launch. Have there been any?

If i have to guess, it'll be slower than the previous ones! NV1 was unimpressive, NV2 is garbage (i can sense the difference just using the OS between an OEM SSD and this piece of crap), so NV3 probably will be dog slow with penta cell flash!
