While I find this data interesting it isnt usually very actionable.
The skus with the lowest number immediately get bought out(if they are still available, which they are not always) and will never be available. You also always run the risk of "getting a bad batch" or just getting some drives that got beat up in shipping.
Usually this data is only useful for keeping an eye on your own stuff and prioritizing replacements when the time comes.
When buying drives I just look at the sizes I need and the performance then get 1/3rd from each of the manufacturers.
