I have several 480GB SSDs, and only one of these has the SN11873 firmware. This drive seems to be a Maxio based (variant 2) kind. The patch for this drive:

All other SA100 drives have very different firmware versions, and they seem to be well suited for the following description:

Both drives have exactly the same part numbers on their labels:

P/N: BL.9BWWA.103

Both kinds of drives are recognized by the BIWIN Intellifence application, and corresponding SMART reports can be seen in the attached PDFs.
