I was wondering what this brand was. So it's intels old SSD department that was recently bought by SK Hynix and it's setup to be another nand flash company under their umbrella
Toms hardware says this is like the Intel 670p but with some minor revisions. It tested about average but it's kinda impressive for a non d ram cache drive. I would feel more comfortable with a drive like this instead of Kingston or pny nvme drives that are out there.
Absolutely. Sucks theres no marketing for the new name. SK Hynix is the top dog in NAND and so was Intel. This is miles better than similarly priced drives from PNY, and such. Sacrifice few benchmark points and have piece of mind with your precious data
My biggest concern is large file write speed when you are down to like 30% free space or so. A lot of QLCs drop to actual spinny disk HDD write speeds in this scenario. To me this is a bigger concern than whether it has DRAM or the reliability of QLC.

I am using this as my gaming drive, and it just works fine. Maybe it would matter for productivity tasks, but I do not see how you can go wrong with this one. I am not even sure if you can tell differences between M.2 SSDs, and this one is PCIE 4.0, so you are getting decent speed anyway.

What's the point of making PCIe Gen 4 SSD's that aren't any faster than PCIe Gen 3? I guess they're hoping consumers won't read the specs and see that their not getting Gen 4 speed?
I know some people may rip this for being QLC but Intel and now Solidigm i believe use a hybrid system that is rated/reviewed much better. Been running a small 256gb Intel 670p as my main drive for several years now and its honestly been great. I do believe they don't have dram on these compared to the 670p is that correct? Not too worried if it has hmb instead.
