According to Team Group's spec page, this does not have DRAM

https://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/product/qx

The 16TB model seems to have DRAM according to the Amazon page, but the other capacities say No DRAM.

Some other 4TB 2.5" drives around this price (and are also DRAM-less) are the Team Group Vulcan-Z QLC which is $165 and the Silicon Power A55 for $160 (which might be TLC as other capacities of the A55 are, and it does have double the TBW compared to Team's QLC drives, but all these drives keep component switching so it's hard to tell).

ah intresting is the dual chache a miss marketing then?? as if it only has SLC cache that would be single. seems very much so the marketing and selling page has "Smart Dual Cache and powerful performance" but then the actual product edm sheet just says "‧Smart SLC Cache and powerful performance" https://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/product/qx

Quote from dailydoseofone :

It means that the warranty is good for 3 years or 1000TB of writes, whichever comes first. It's much like how a car could come with a 10 year / 100,000 mile warranty.

Quote from av911 :

No, the TBW are mainly for warranty purposes. They are NOT a good indicator of drive quality or longevity.

Yep. I holding out until it hits 150. At that price im okay with paying for a 4tb drive but as long as it has dram cache. Not this one...

That's very low compared to other Team Group SATA SSD. Their AX2 1TB is rated for 800 TBW.
