Stay away from DRAMless type SSD. This is true especially TLC type SSD. When you don't have a buffer DRAM , during high workloads, the SSD will stall . When it happens, the end-user will face the typical "hang" like what harddisk users are facing when windows update+anti virus scan are running concurrently and you are trying to load a game.
DRAMless do promise a little better battery life. But I don't think its worth the tradeoff , for a lot worse user experience. |

guys, sorry for reviving this old topic.
I understand that Dramless TLC SSD will cause sluttering issue. I just found two 240GB Intel 530 MLC SSD lying in my cabinet which Ii haven't used for years since i upgraded to 480GB SSD. I google it and found that the intel 530 has no Dram so it is a lousy SSD? Will it improve performance (remove sluttering) if I configure RAID0 for two SSD? |

QUOTE(kingkingyyk @ Dec 28 2018, 01:11 PM) Samsung 860 Pro and 970 Pro are the only ones left. Price is very steep.Samsung 860 Pro: 256GB - 549 512GB - 799 (better price/GB) Samsung 970 Pro: 512GB - 1099 (better price/GB) 1TB - 2299 You might be able to find Intel 535 360GB at RM340ish though. |
