Yes. There's some caching built in but no DRAM. Sequential read and iops are good, as is endurance (should be about 600 TB per TB of storage, or 1.2 PB total if the stats carry from the older SN570s). It should also have a 5 year warranty.

I have two smaller 570's in systems and I they really seem just as snappy as my 970 Evo Plus in most use cases. If I were space constrained on my PCIE 3 systems I'd pick up one of these without hesitation.

Made no difference in my daily usage for the two I have. Modern DRAM-less NVMe SSDs like the WD SN570 and Samsung 980 seem to be fantastic due to optimizations made for DRAM-less operation over the years by their manufacturers. I'm not sure I'll ever feel the need to buy an NVMe SSD with DRAM again, assuming the price differences are still there. I'd still want DRAM on a SATA SSD though.

No DRAM and Gen3 for the SN570, but for my particular use-case (booting a Raspberry Pi 4 over UASP) this is a great value, compared to any microSD or SATA M.2

I've never seen a storage drive on amazon that has a full 5 start rating... that says the product is quality.

Can I use this in an external enclosure that fits 2280 size drives? I'm not looking for the fastest drive possible right now. Just something reliable in 2tb capacity that will work in an external enclosure

After using a 1TB in a laptop and a 2TB in a desktop, I 100% recommend this one for general usage, boot drive, gaming, etc at this price point. There are certainly cheaper ones, usually with more mixed reviews. There are faster ones at higher price points. Overall, I found this to be a great balance for everyday usage for a great price whenever it's on sale.

Added bonus is that it has only maxed out at 51c for me, during a large file transfer. In other words, it never throttled in my laptop or my desktop (no heat sink) during something like a 50-120gb game transfer between drives.
