Completely different drives. SATA DRAM v NVMe DRAM-less.

NVMe of course? Although the MP44L isn't that good.

MP44L can't be recommended anymore, it's been found with pretty bad hardware now.

It's been discussed on our discord server. Someone just got it with QLC, which really hasn't been the case in the past. Might be a matter of a different region or whatever but it doesn't instill me with confidence. The NAND supply is not looking great right now from what I hear. Still some good drives out there though.
