It's not that they switched to NAND, they've always been NAND. They just switched from Toshiba NANDs, which are top quality and fast, to Micron which are slower and less reliable.

I don't know that there's any way to tell for sure what you'll get if you order from Amazon, only that they are currently building them all from Micron, so unless you're getting an old one (which I doubt from Amazon) it'll be the slower Micron version.

Why not opt for a Samsung EVO instead.
