Issue being that you're more likely to unplug the drive, with DRAM unless you have capacitors (which many consumer drives don't) you could potentially lose any data that hasn't yet been written to NAND. With a DRAM-less drive all your data will likely already be sitting in either the SLC cache or written to TLC NAND already so from a hot unplug perspective it should be safer.
DRAM is used to hold translation tables and without it random reads and writes will be slower than SSDs with DRAM. The peak spec read and write numbers are max speeds possible under ideal conditions - sequential reads where translation table look up overhead is amortized over long reads and sequential writes into the SLC cache. It gets worse as the SSD fills up.
The performance numbers for random reads and writes will be slower than those with DRAM all else being equal (like NAND latency and speed).
I think it's model number starts with "SU".
I had an ADATA thumb drive die just after it's warranty expired.
How is this one or Silicon Power compared to TimeTec [amazon.com] ?
Don't know anything about Tmetec. Appears to be a relatively new company.
AX1
AX2
CX1
CX2 (No DRAM)
EX2 (No DRAM)
GX1 (No DRAM)
GX2 (No DRAM)
Vulcan (YES, DRAM)
Vulcan G (No DRAM)
Vulcan Z
Silicon Power Ace A55 (No DRAM)
Similar PNY SSD's
I know much less than probably most here and of all the 512gb SSDs on sale
I picked up the Vulcan Z about 2 weeks ago, haven't opened it yet.
What do you guys and gals think?
Should I just keep the Team group Vulcan Z, it or get another one?
It was around $30 too

The major difference from a hardware perspective between enterprise/data center drives and consumer drives are the fact that the former has capacitors specifically to ensure the dram can be flushed to the nand.
