that said, obviously dram drives are great for transfer like you said.. but if you think loading a game is going to be mind blowingly better.. lol. i do like dram drives.. just not all drives need to have dram. but ya i prob wouldn't buy this kingston.. they seem to be going down hill in cs and quality.
Well apparently some people find my opinion unhelpful so let me elaborate. Sequential write speeds are only useful if transferring large files which is not as common. When loading games or copying folder structures that consist of lot of small files having DRAM is essential for good transfer speeds. Without DRAM SSDs can be slower then traditional HDD. So just make sure you know what your use case and needs are before you purchase a DRAMless SSD.

The only thing that's 10 times faster is the read write speed, which, by the way, you will never see, unless you were transferring data between two drives of the same caliber, you will never see those read write speeds, and the read write speeds Don't make a difference for boot times and software loading times. There's more important factors that determine how fast and snappy feeling an ssd feels
