Hello, everyone!

I am interested in a simple question: Why are there no p(SLC) technology SSDs available for sale at a reasonable price for consumer SSDs?
There are some examples 1 2 3 4 from China, but they are not sold anywhere.

SSDs manufactured 10-15 years ago had NOR flash for storing firmware and capacitors to protect against rapid power loss.
These components are very inexpensive for mass production, but now they are not installed, which greatly reduces the reliability of SSDs. WHY?

Some enthusiasts working with SSDs have found a way to change the firmware to p(SLC) Mode, which is very easy to do during production, but why isn't it being done?

Industrial or corporate SSDs are currently sold at 2-4 times the price higher!
