I just want to correct some misinformation from your review. At least to my knowledge...

SLC = Single-Level cell (1 bit per cell)
MLC = Multi-Level cell (2 or more, usually 2)
TLC = Triple-Level cell (3-bit MLC)

Toggle NAND is something else, which could be compared to ONFI NAND.

3D-/V-NAND means stacking cells vertically.

You say the MGX controller uses a triple-core ARM processor, while Samsung states that it is dual-core.

Thanks this was already corrected, yes the MGX is a lower power 2-core design whereas the MEX controller has a 3 core design.

All SATA connectors are derived from the native Intel X99 Express chipset.
