BTW, chips come in different grades. Maybe they use the initial high grade rejects that meet the req for lower capacity?

If you mean NAND memory chips, I really don't know. But....I've never heard of a company marketing 512GB SSDs along with HIGH GRADE or LOW GRADE memory. So it may be true that quality varies, but I don't know how the device maker would market the same GB to get a higher price if their NAND memory was "higher grade".

You can get faster controller speeds, or faster connectivity technology (SATA-3 v NVME) but I've never heard of some maker selling SUPERIOR NAND memory. 512GB is 512GB, in the advertising.
