DRAM could provide a buffer between the computer memory and the drives blocks that are actually written to (TLC) , the controller has a little but 32MB is full really fast.
Problem for me having the same use case for this drive as Orang3Beard is that in a NAS this could be a great replacement for spinning disks, but in RAID it would be just too limited. The real bottleneck is here :
Die Read Speed: 727 MB/s
Die Write Speed: 69 MB/s
With a die write speed of less then 100MB/s this thing could be in continued write much slower then a comparable HDD. Painfully slow to fill up, probably quite decent to retrieve information from.
Found a review that shows with a screenshot what this could look like:

Cons:
Reliability seems to be an issue according to some reviews.
Pro's:
Endurance: 450 TBW
Warranty: 3 Years
MTBF: 2.0 Million Hours
For me I would not want to make a ZFS RAIDz2 volume with these. Maybe a normal RAID1 would be cheap peace of mind..
Unless you are refurbishing an old computer for a family member that does not have to work hard daily I believe almost everybody would be helped spending $10-15 more for something better.
At this rate no reason to have spinners anywhere in the house, save for the NAS.
Yeah it's not a performance beast but it's good enough for most users. Time to upgrade Granny's laptop

They're not forcing you to do anything. Especially over 3 dollars.

i tried to get a credit adjust using the "price is too high" reason for the AMZN return, but Amzn don't care, they'd apparently go through the entire return/repurchase process than to credit $3. I don't understand, but I'm not a Amzn C-suite so WTF do I know?
three bucks pays for my lunch today, so F yah I'm dropping the unopened package off at UPS enroute to work.
