Technically it should work but it would be better if you get slightly better performing SSD, up to 5000 MBps or higher write speed.
Thx, at this price I'll it a try since 70% of my games are for PS4 and %30 for PS5, I have an external drive but I wanted to try this types. I'm not too picky about the extra seconds to load the games. I asume I need a heatsink, can anyone recommend a good one (sorry I never used NVMe)

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank poorgrad

This is the cheapest gen 4 pcie drive that actually has gen 4 speeds. Looks too new to have any reviews. Similar drives with the same ig5220 controller like the atom 50 and Patriot p400 have gotten good reviews. It's probably a bit slower than the sn770 but not noticable in most cases. The best deal I've seen for a sn770 is $10 more.

It is perfect. You do NOT want drive-level dram cache in a RAID setup.
They tend to add additional risk and complexity to the RAID.
Moral of the story... dont go CHEAP in raid unless its a special hdd use case like 8tb x 4 or x5...

Would lack of dram matter when using several of these in a ZFS array in a TrueNas server?
Under normal circumstances HMB negates the need for DRAM, but only if the host OS supports the protocol. TrueNAS is based on FreeBSD which does not support HMB. I am not familiar enough with TrueNAS to understand how this would affect the performance.

no clue. Dram doesn't matter for gaming though.

1000tbw on a 1tb drive implies TLC to me, anyone can confirm?
TLC is good right? I keep forgetting between MLC QLC TLC and Dram vs no Dram

I was looking at that drive, until I read this recent review:

This drive previously used the Phison E12 controller with DRAM. It now uses the Realtek RTS5763DL which is DRAM-less. The product page still lists this has having DRAM. It's no longer worth the premium over other drives in it's class. It does still reach the stated speeds.

The question is do you care about your data 100%. In a ZFS pool it expects synch writes to be completed, so you either have a UPS for graceful shutdown or you use SSD w/ power caps (PLP) to write out any data that was marked as a write in the SLOG and actually not written to the data drive. Otherwise you can have a scrambled array, then will need to recover to an earlier time point. I wouldn't worry about it that much unless you are using this for a super-critical use case where you can have zero data loss.

If you are going to use say 4 drives you are going to saturate the bus and/or HBA/NIC so HMB or no HMB is going to be only for border conditions as the way ZFS handles transactions anyways in batches. Linux supports HMB, maybe TrueNas Scale does, I have been out of that for a while as I now use Unraid which will support ZFS shortly if that's your thing.

In any case I wouldn't worry about it too much if you are not going to use SSD without PLP (power loss prevention).

This is not quite right. I bought this drive back when it was $59 and this has been confirmed by others in reddit
It's a rts5762 with 128 MB dram. I could not get it to bench at 3400/2900 in my Ryzen 5 laptop though. It was about 10% lower.

The Mushkin spec page [poweredbymushkin.com] for the 1TB version says 1000 TB.
