Marvell 88SS1074 controller is DRAM based. Just Kingston did not give information on how big is it.

from a UV 500 review .


Kingston is utilizing Toshiba 15nm TLC NAND and each package is 32GB in capacity. Once formatted in Windows there is about 446GB usable capacity. The cache provided by a Nanya 512MB LPDDR3 1600 DRAM package and the controller is a Marvell 88SS1074.

Yes, Marvell 88SS1074 controller is DRAM based, but kingston make it dram-less.

Hello, read carefully the title of your source, UV 400, not UV500.

Just search for any reviews on UV500, and you see any one said with dram ? Not even kingston specification page.

If got dram, they will sure announce/write it big-big on their packaging, this is very simple logic. Instead, they only put 10x faster. Got money to earn more don't want ah ?

Do you have proof?

Hahaha.





Have fun.

Looks like 128MB for 240GB.

Correct.

My bad. I was wrong.

Thanks for the picture/clarification.

hahaa told you so
the memory chip Kingston D1216MCABXGGBS .


A total of four NAND flash chips are found on the Kingston UV500 240GB solid state disk, with two of them on each side. The chips used are Kingston branded flash memory labeled FH64B08UCT1-31 with a capacity of 64GB per integrated circuit chip. These are triple-level cells manufactured on 15nm fabrication process. Its rated write endurance is 100TB, which equates to about 55GB per day for five years. This is pretty good, considering it is more than some high end drives out there. 16GB out of the 256GB total capacity (Just under 7%) is provisioned for the drive controller for overhead, so the actual usable space is 240GB, as advertised. You will see 223GB in Windows. One Kingston D1216MCABXGGBS memory chip is present; used with the Marvell 88SS1074 controller to ensure smooth operation.

I can suggest you for example something from Samsung (me personally will go with noname brand Radeon SSD) but let me tell you if you do buy them new it's really something like with SSD's - they all have SATA III interface and even much faster.
