sorted byNah, even if it does have DRAM.
TCL NAND drive with DRAM for less -

Not even close I'm afraid, 1TB NVMe drives start around £36, and that's for a TLC NAND drive.
Even though it's DRAM-less I'd still choose that over this QLC drive. (edited)
When it comes to work-horse NVMes, as opposed to devices you use to run games from, the 'strategy' of the controller chip/firmware counts most. And when it comes to games, the vast majority of new AAA games see little to no benefit of so-called 'ultra fast' NVMes vs ordinary fast devices. Maybe the coming Sony Ratchet and Clank game will be different.
It is notable that some people reported their cheap fast TLC devices rapidly failing the continuous write case (writes dropping down to insanely low levels). This is why the headline figure of insanely high read/write speeds are used to sell bad NVMe drives to idiots. But some people in this forum think they know it all.
Here's a clue for the clueless- with the rapid collapse of NVMe pricing, many less honest companies are going to care very little about quality control- bait-n-switching the parts used. Under this circumstance, Intel's best mainstream offering - well tested and well reviewed - and designed for the most difficult use namely a boot and OS drive- is probably going to be a very safe bet.
Some of the cheap TLCs may be better (and certainly may have limited use cases where they are faster- but few here would ever benefit). However you need to check good reviews very carefully, and ensure they still use the same quality of components as when reviewed.
Mainly use laptop for office work, Zoom, YouTube, browsing. General use.
It has been a reliable and quick responding drive for my use case. Temperatures remain low. 30 degrees or less at idle.
I was drawn to the fact it is tuned for quick boot, app opening, game loading times (See Random 4K Q1T1 readings below which were comparable with some top end Gen 4 drives), along with having DRAM cache.
I don't use it for heavy loads and rarely do writes that would exhaust the SLC cache. If you do heavy writes or copy large amounts of data regularly, definitely look elsewhere.
It is still rated at 99% life. I paid £55 last July prime day. This seems to be the lowest price for a while.
Yes it's QLC but it has decent optimisations and DRAM cache. In my eyes a good tested rapid gen 3 drive for lighter work loads. (edited)
Seems a bit excessive.
