in reply to @cathoderaydude's post:
The most annoying thing about this is, as far as I can tell, this isn't an advertised thing when you're looking for drives. You just have to assume the cheap ones don't have dr-
Wait isn't it DRAMless? NAND is the flash right?
LOL understandable.
I was looking this up the other day and my conclusion was "fuck it I'll just go look for used enterprise drives instead". I think even the smasmug evos are dramless now???
There's an awful lot of features that are Not Advertised with storage and you have to just know which models have it or how far up the consumer -> enterprise -> datacenter scale you have to go to probably get it
You really don't know what you're missing until you do smartctl -x on an enterprise drive and it tells you it's life story.
yea i wish Ram cached m.2 SSD's were more common and also not like 3x the price of a cacheless SSD
EDIT: it would help if manufacturers would clearly state if their drive has DRAM cache
for example the WD Black SN850X is listed as Cacheless on sites like PCpartpicker, but it is actually a Cached Drive according to reviews wich took a closer look
looking for a M.2 SSD to buy SUCKS!
