Question WD PC SN820

Just got an Alienware m16 R1 (AMD) and it came with 2x WD PC SN820 in RAID 0

Why are there 0 reviews of this SSD online?

I took these benchmarks just in case anyone is interested both in RAID 0 and as a single drive. I am not sure why the Random 4K Read is slower in RAID 0

WD is always rolling out new model numbers it's hard to keep track. Looks like it's performing like the 850 nonX. The X version only ups the capacity to 4tb from 2tb. They might have dropped some of the dram for the 820?
 
SN820 is an OEM SN850X.
Thanks a lot, I just Googled this statement and I found this on Toms Hardware:

The list of Western Digital's upcoming SSDs is pretty long. It includes the new flagship WD_Black SN850X drive that is presumably based on a new (or revamped) controller and/or faster/higher-capacity 3D NAND memory, as well as the new SN820 SSD for OEMs, which is powered by the same controller but is aimed at OEMs.
