Here is a review of the drive: Kingston KC2000 M.2 NVMe SSD Review: Top Notch Components and Security tomshardware.com My guess is it has been superceded by other drives and Kingston or Newegg just wants to move it out. But that is just a guess.

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.
