I'm a little confused. Your link doesn't mention this drive or even the Solidigm brand.
According to https://www.techpowerup.com/ssd-s...-2-tb.d857
This drive has an SLC cache of around 300GB and then it would drop to about 400MB/s.
This can be tested using special software, but this doesn't actually happen during normal use.
Amazon reviews are a solid 5-stars right now, so I was just curious what his or her PC set up looked like. Maybe there's a clue there that could help.
I don't understand why anyone would buy these with QLC. If they exceed 50% of their capacity the performance tanks to an HDD
That's absolutely false. I have dreamless qlc drive as game drive for years and they are usually around 80 percent capacity. They don't perform like HDD.....
Terrible SSD if I can call it that. After spending days trying Windoze 10 to work with it - the speeds were terrible after it writes about 50GB to the Drive. It has speeds in the vicinity of 25-30MB/s. Worse than my WD NAS Drives. I guess the $80 MC SSD is way better than these for less money. I was fooled into thinking these were either the Intel or Hynix Technology - but these seem to have the worst of both of them. and No support from their company.
These are not OS drive....you are getting the wrong SSD for OS.
jesus you just wont concede that you're basing all of this off of old information that isn't relevant to this particular drive or even MOST users. It will still maintain 400MBps once the cache is depleted. If you need faster drives than buy faster drives but quit trying to convince everyone else that this one is bad.
This isn't a 500 gig drive from 2+ years ago. what the heck is your point? if you don't want it then dont buy it.
WAT. I was trying to get over the myth that these QLC drives magically run at half speed after they are 50% full. I was trying to describe where the myth came from (the low capacity drives).
For Pete's sake THE 2TB SOLIDIGM DRIVE FOR $110 IS A GOOD DEAL.
You would have to write 400 gig to it an hour before it goes into 10x slow mode
You can check some of the reviews that dive real deep...
But generally they are all the same, you have 15-20 gig of static SLC per TB, and 100-150 gig per TB of dynamic SLC. Once the drive is 100% full, you have used up 100% of your dynamic.
This could be a real problem with smaller drives like 500 gig. As once you are over 50%, you are talking you might only have 30-50 of total SLC to work with, and if your refresh isnt very aggressive, you could run out with just 1 game update and it would take 10x longer to finish.
Sorry to say this is speculation. Manufactures need to provide this information. Not sure if you said or someone else but teh Crucial P2 drive didn't have as much of this dynamic SLC and we all know how that went.
EDIT: OK Tom's hardware says it is around 270. It still would be nice for manufactures to be required to put this in.
I just got a tracking number, for my order that was "backordered" when I made it. So, seems like their estimated in-stock timeframe wasn't too far off.

Ordered this backordered 2TB NVMe m.2 off Newegg a couple of days ago. Shipped today already. I'll test it on my PS5. I'll report back with my findings. 3k read and 2k write is PLENTY fast for games. I HIGHLY doubt these consoles can take advantage of that.

Placed pre/back-order on 11/14, got a tracking number yesterday 11/15; just fyi the original ETA date was 11/18. And wasn't charged until it shipped, even though I checked out with Apple Pay.
cuz that's not the reason, it's only if you exceed write cache - and that recovers, if you space out sustained writes... also few folks will have a faster device to write from...

Also note this issue is for writes and how much you transfer at one time.
