SK Hynix is the #3 flash manufacturer (acquired Intel's NAND biz), and their RAM is quite decent. i wouldn't think twice about buying if it wasn't for this report.
Hynix's flash is just fine. It's the controller at fault for this.
In one of the tweets he says another drive with the same controller passed so it's not just the controller
Apple has been using SK Hynix products (some rebranded as their own) for years.
I would expect the world's second largest DRAM manufacturer to have trustworthy memory products.
Pretty much every brand uses phison controllers in at least some of their products, even wd/samsung/intel who design controllers in house use them for their cheapest offerings because phison is all about making the cheapest product possible.
FWIW, I've had SK Hynix parts in my Dell laptops before.
I agree about Sabrent.
