I understand your belief that One Zone implies less expensive, but I’m staunchly in favor of them having it in the name so people know that their data is in a single AZ. The storage class succinctly summarizes faster with lower availability.

Fair, how about instead of S3 Express they call it S3 Max (One Zone). It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to come up with good product names, just copy Apple. Though I suppose what happens when engineers are left up to the marketing. :-)

If Apple's so great at naming things, tell me (without looking) which is bigger/better/faster for their CPUs: Max or Ultra?

ha, ha, fair. Ultra. To be fair, I own a MacBook Pro M1 Max and Mac Mini M4 Pro and follow Apple products closely.

Yep, I love Apple, follow them closely, own a Mac Studio with an M3 Ultra and a MacBook Pro with an M4 Max, and it's still confusing. :)

I mean, surely a Mac Studio with an M4 Max must be the best, right? It's an entire CPU generation ahead and it's maximum! Of course, it's not... the M3 Ultra is the best.

Naming things is hard.
