AFAIK, The core uses all the same components as the Lite version, but the Core version has no DRAM build in and uses HMB from your computer, and it also has different firmware.
It is a cheap one as you say and ADATA is known to use various components without info. You never know what you get, they swap out components without any information. And the speed can be higher or even lower depending on what components they use.

For example good in price and cheap at moment WD Black SN770, double the speed of that ADATA SSD. Also without DRAM and uses HMB. And real TLC NAND, good quality part's with a house made WD controller.
Yes crucial does the same and many other brand also. For very cheap SSD they search the market where they can find cheap parts, and then use them in their products. They use so to say shrapnel parts in their SSD's. You never know what you get at home. They are very cheap sometimes, but they come with a price... For this SSD's you exactly get what you pay for.

You can buy anything that your heart desires, just don't go to cheap and do not buy QLC SSD, it's absolutely trash for me. Pay a little more and have TLC instead.
Did you take a look at a WD Blue SN580, very cheap and also TLC. And still faster then the other's you named.
And in your country Intenso should be quite good.
The Lexar NM710 is also affordable low price and again faster then the other brand's you named.

OK, I thought the Kioxia is similar to the WD
IT´s not for a High-ENd-System, it should be at least not so slow and reliable. Intenso is a well known brand here but also known for not being such reliable. The SN580 seems to be a good choice
For my main-system I have an ADATA S70 Blade

Generally speaking I dislike the A-Data drives because they often changing the controllers/nand flash chips under the same product.
So you might get a different thing what you think, or read about in reviews and articles.
This is only my opinion tho,
Personally I use an old SX8200PNP drive which works fine, but also reporting it's temperature 10°C off as if it was 10°C less than in reality.

Yeah, I know this problem with ADATA, Patriot, Kingston, Teamgroup, Silicon Power etc.
Even Crucial changed hardware in the MX500, one of the most sold SATA-SSDs
So this is a general problem, maybe Samsung are mostly stable, SK Hynix is hard to get here or overprices.
I would say in the low-entry-segment it´s acceptable excelt switching from TLC with DRAM to QLC without DRAM, but in this segment DRAM is rare.
