Buffalo like several dozen other "SSD makers" or "flash memory product makers" do not actually make the technology within these products. There are literally only a small handful of companies on the planet that actually have this capability. Intel, Micron, Toshiba, SanDisk/WD, are the ones that come to mind. Buffalo? Nope.

Is this just your assertion or do you have evidence?
In any case at what point in the manufacturing process does a product cease to be a a product of the manufacturer whose name it bears? OK I understand one may query badge engineering where a finished product from another supplier merely undergoes a minor styling change to rebrand it but I can think of few products where all of the technology or materials utilised come exclusively from the end manufacturer.
I have more credible evidence for my point than the O.P. has for his reference citing Hifinews. ;-)"Melco says audio benefits are clear" ... Sure, what manufacturer would say otherwise about their own product? "...and this is confirmed in HiFiNews June review, " Confirmed by a tabloid-grade audio rag? OK. LoL!
See the link below which shows the small handful of NAND flash makers in the world, keeping in mind that NAND flash is at the heart of every SSD on the market from several dozen brands.
You make a valid point about finished product vs the core technologies within but there's not a lot the various 'brands' can control because the technology - and the cost of entry in this market - is far beyond most of these brands including Buffalo.
