In reply to Mangalore Cafe.

TLC -is- MLC

MLC = Multiple-level cell
TLC = Triple-level cell

Multiple means more than one.. 3 is more than one.

MLC usually means 2 levels per-cell, but manufacturers can sometimes label TLC as MLC.

You say this is a TLC Nand but the official website says its an MLC https://www.pny.com/ssd-cs2211 I am going crazy here. Anandtech also says its an MLC.
Well I am going crazy cause many people are saying that TLC drives come in 120/240 capacities and only the MLC come in 128/256 and so on capacities.
I have seen uptill now two brands that have the 120/240 capacites but claim to be MLC one is PNY and the other is Chiprex. So I am confused. These are really cheap but I don’t want it if its a TLC Could someone please confirm

In reply to Mike. As long as it performs adequately and the endurance/retention is reasonable, there is nothing wrong. After all, each generation is getting cheaper.
