I got this ssd but didn’t realize it’s Dram-less and QLC but I’m gonna use it as a game/storage drive for my laptop since I mostly use it as a read drive, l stress test it and didn’t find any issues, also it’s a good drive and I like it :)

@techluvin7691 3 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, most are dramless………but they will use a portion of your ram as a cache. I agree with the QLC. That’s unfortunate.

is it good for a long term? to use with important data.. they are cheaper than wd black, samsung pro, but this speed is good enough for me. i only worry with durability

Thanks, useful as always! by the way, I think the WD_Black SN850X is single-sided too and has a better performance. did you try it?

@mashextra Жыл бұрын

Thank you mate. I also bought the sn850x hoping it would be single sided but alas it isn't :( there is only 1 chip and some circuitry but it will be a struggle to fit in many slots. I will do a video on it soon

So I was looking for this kind of product for my laptop, but im not very good at this so im not sure if this will fit on my msi pulse 17. Can anyone confirm? I tried to search for it but all og it sounds like gibberish to me. And just to know is this a good option for gaming?

@jamesh446 Жыл бұрын

If you order the Alienware m18/16 with two SSD’s do they provide a heat sync for the extra drive? They probably do but I know they don’t offer any extra heat syncs if you only order the one drive

@mashextra Жыл бұрын

Yes they do. They provide heatsinks for all drives you order. Its sad they don't just give you the heatsinks for all the slot as it would cost them pennies

As long as the screw is the correct size, that’s great. If not……….captan tape.

I don't quite understand how the cache works but I tried copying a single large file and it didn't drop that much write speed. The drive was at 50% capacity with overprovision. Also upto date firmware. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZaUpKaB09WdkWg.htmlsi=7ZgU-Yqg_mi1vlu0

@mashextra 5 ай бұрын

how large was the file? if you copy say 50-100gb you should get amazing speeds for say the first few GBs then as the cache is filled and it writes direct to the slower NAND the speeds drop significantly. But unless you are copying stupidly large files you would probably never come across this in day to day use
