Those values match the SanDisk Portable SSD (E30) with the G26 model numbers. The article also says the starting price is 100 US dollars and names no controller, flash or write speed

SuccessoriThe model that directly replaced this one, in the same line, tier and size. A revision such as a Slim or OLED model does not count when a next generation exists.

InterfaceiFastest host connection the drive is rated for. The PCIe generation of an NVMe drive is its own field. A Thunderbolt drive that also works over USB uses its Thunderbolt version.

PCIe generationiHighest PCIe generation the drive supports, e.g. 5 for PCIe 5.0. NVMe drives only. A drive rated for PCIe 4.0 x4 or 5.0 x2 is 5 with 2 lanes, and the source note names both modes.
