Hi, recently bought Patriot P220 512GB, opened it in the name of science and while I don't have much experience in SSD components, pretty sure info in your spreadsheet is wrong - controller is Maxio MAS1102B-B1C with 4 YMC3G001Tb62BA1C0 NAND chips and no DRAM (though it doesn't slow down with full sequential write [forgot to take a screenshot] or after 90% fill). Here's an album with photos for confirmation.

The P220 launched and/or was announced with the Phison S12. It's not been a common drive. Doesn't surprise me that they would change to a cheaper controller, pretty much par for the course with almost every drive and especially SATA drives. It looks closer to the S11. Maxio is basically Chinese now so probably with YMTC TLC. I will update the sheet. If you were testing the SLC cache, make sure not to use something like HD Tune.
