I think it may be worthwhile testing to confirm that there is no impact to performance. A lot of times, the benchmark is quite short, so the issue may not surface. There is a reason for the massive DRAM in the first place. By cutting it to 1/4 of it, it is definitely not the same product and should not be using the same model number. Whatever they say, I will not consider Patriot SSDs going forward due to their shady practice.

A different controller, different memory, and a different quantity of memory, but it performs the same. Trust us. Just like we hope you’ll trust us that this was just an accident when we didn’t push updated specs. Also please ignore that huge reduction in rated endurance.

Seriously, how hard is it to add a V2 or something to a product? It’s fairly obvious they were hoping this would fly under the radar versus being upfront about it. Samsung added the 970 Evo Plus, but to be fair they actually wanted to point out improvements to a product that warranted a new SKU. Versus this situation.
