No way... you need a 2230 size drive. Those are more expensive and less common than the 2.5" size you see here and the 2280 one that is commonly sold as m.2 drives at stores.

Dramless SSD. Not a glowing review. Might be good for a media worm drive?

For this price point and capacity, I think we would be hard pressed to find SSD with DRAM. Personally, I mainly see this as being used for secondary storage, e.g. for games, which the DRAM is probably not going to help much. Pair this a good NVMe primary drive would likely be a good use case.

Horrible for a game drive if you have fast internet. I have a similar cheap drive (different brand, similar design and performance), and after it gets about 60% full writes slow to ~30-60MB/sec due to the SLC cache being too small for large downloads. Doing a patch on Steam takes foooorrrrever on large games (because it re-writes the entire thing).

I don't see any indication that this has DRAM.

Been using this drive for about a year now for PC games. It's been great.

Yeah. The sustained write performance isn't the best, but if you're gaming and mostly reading off the SSD, it should be fine.
