Dramless.

You can get SU800 for similar price.

Considered to be one of the best. $80 is a good deal. Previous low for this drive was $88.

e: I was looking at the 1tb version. This one does not have DRAM.

You're right on that. BX500 vs SU800 [userbenchmark.com]- just not sure if the SU800 is going to drop to this price (80$) any time soon.

urlhasbeenblocked has SU800 onsale pretty frequent. I'd say every two weeks or so they have sale. It's sold directly from adata, so it does come with warranty.

I was being sarcastic. There is group think around here, especially around SSDs based purely on opinion. It leads to an immediate response of "no DRAM" and a down vote despite this being a good deal.

Yet, an SSD that is 10% faster in real world workloads sells for $20-25 more and goes front page.

Time to upgrade the Macbook Pro. Used my $15 AMZ Photos, $5 Gift Card bonus and what was left of my Discover bonus.

Essentially, $59.

With that in mind, humbug to DRAM.

And, I trust Crucial more than AData.
