HMB allows the controller to store I/O mapping data in a small portion of system memory instead of a DRAM module on the controller. Because the PCIe bus allows very fast transfer speeds, the difference between to the two methods are not really that far apart. You would really only see a difference on a synthetic benchmark.
Including a DRAM module on the controller package is ideal, but it adds cost and consumes more power. As PCIe bus speeds and bandwidth increase, you will likely see more manufacturers move towards HMB and away from DRAM.
Slow for NVME, but for the price a lot of storge in a small package. I sort of liken this range of SSDs as the cheap slow 5400rpm HDD drives we used to buy for storage. Buy a faster 500-1TB drive for your OS, this is for storage.
The mp34 or Kingston nv2 at $110 is probably a better buy. Mp34 is orderable at Newegg with eta of 1/20. Nv2 is available at Amazon, NewEgg, and B&H.
Both will be faster than the mp33. Mp34 has a lot more endurance and dram. Nv2 is lower endurance and no dram but is pcie gen 4.
Current version of mp34 is rts5672 based. I get 2900/2400 mb/s read/write on my system with the 1tb version.
Nv2 also has a bunch of versions floating around. https://www.tomshardware.com/revi...on-nv2-ssd

The only Teamgroup NVME to buy is MP34 because of dram. Otherwise just go with better brand like crucial P5 plus or Sk hynix samsung ..
Something I've been wondering; if nvme drives use flash memory for cache, and performance tanks when it gets full because it can't use that space for cache, then what kind of performance would you get if you made a partition that was 85% of the disk, leaving 15% permanently unallocated? Would this then result in the slowdown never happening?

IMO, I rather buy the Teamgroup ssd just because it is a TLC compared to Kingston's QLC. However, I would rather wait until later this year considering that there is going to be a recession and there will be a glut of SSD's and memory. This means that like in other recessions, NAND and DRAM prices is going to sell at a loss later this year.

Yes, but it's really only write speeds that are impacted.

Newegg also has the TeamGroup Create Classic 3.0 drive for $100, which is inferior to the MP33.
