    Very confused here. You have two sentences literally back to back that seem like they were written by different people who didn't talk to each other.

    "Micron claims that the use of its 232L 3D NAND and Phison's latest E27T DRAM-less controller (fabricated in TSMC's 12nm process) help in reducing power consumption..."

    followed by:

    "Based on the specifications, it appears that the drives are using 232L 3D QLC."

    Yeah, you just said that in the previous sentence as a derived quote from Micron themselves. Why act like it's detective work in the following sentence?

    He's specifying that it's QLC NAND, something that isn't mentioned in the previous paragraph. I believe Micron also makes 232L TLC NAND.

    Endurance has always been a sore spot for these 2230 drives.
    The P310 1TB is especially bad, considering WD SN740 1TB does 400TBW.

    temp is the issue. They are mostly used in spots where cooling is not an option.
    they tend to overheat repeatedly, usually halving its lifespan.
    especially DRAM less, this is painful.
    maybe we are asking for too much for such a tiny thing.

    220-to-1 ratio isn't out of the ordinary for QLC NAND. It's probably that.

    Goodram's IRDM Pro Nano was released last month and based on the specs it might be one of the fastest. It is confirmed that it uses E27T controller as well (at least 2TB one) and 3D TLC, based on the specs BiCS6 162L are likely but manufacturer's support did not answer my question about NAND specifics.
