Here's a good example of that progress "in the workings"...

With Tom employing a contributing writer evaluation for the direction
Samsung is positioning its EVO/EVO Pro marketing stratagem -- both to
2/3-bit TLC/MLC against V-NAND technology -- as is now presently
opening to the broader market of brandname availability, then
mentioned, beyond Crucial and Western Digital, a few months ago, and
over how short a time will enact sweeping changes across marketing
dynamics.

Tomorrow, 8/12 NewEgg will begin sales promotions the EVO (non- MLC
Pro)

Amazon may in some elective follow in suit, ensuring their continued
dominance by competitive "price-matching". Also note from the former
article -- besides the original warranty specs, failure
characteristics, and up to a "fool-proof to your doorstep", 10-year
warranty (on Samsung premier enterprise products) -- how, notably with
3rd-party listings, user reviews surfacing, that may be confounded a
case, if the warranty is industrially marginalized to multinational
registration areas, (sic) if it were then bought in the US but the
registration assigned to Europe at potentially entirely different and
conditional qualifications Samsung may engage.

Dominance which in fact may well already account for Amazon's baseline
policies, regarding 3rd-party distribution tactics (for example rife
on Ebay), which have already proven Amazon overall a superior
proactive consumer presence in light of NewEgg's once dominate but now
relative financial demise over the past decade.

Closer, but again by no means conclusively stated for an early stage
and entry point for several other brandname players only now beginning
to provide depth to alterative iterations of the V-NAND platform;- as
if it mattered: Samsung is the veritable Titan to understanding a
SSD... .
