AI Overview Yes, the 2TB MSI SPATIUM M470 is built with TLC (Triple-Level Cell) NAND flash and includes a dedicated DRAM cache. [1, 2]
The specific hardware configuration for this drive includes:
NAND Type: TLC (provides a great balance of speed and endurance for a consumer drive)
DRAM Cache: 2GB DDR4
Controller: Phison PS5016-E16 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Note: Be sure to check the exact box, as newer revisions or the SPATIUM M470 PRO use a different, DRAM-less controller (Phison E27T) which relies on Host Memory Buffer (HMB) instead of physical DRAM. [1, 2] https://www.google.com/search?q=2...nt=gws-wiz
Yes, the standard 2TB MSI SPATIUM M470 is built with TLC NAND and includes a dedicated DRAM cache. However, it does not use the Phison E27T controller. [1, 2]
The specifications depend heavily on exactly which sub-model you are looking at: 1. MSI SPATIUM M470 (Standard Model)
Controller: Phison E16
NAND Type: TLC (Kioxia/Toshiba 96-layer)
DRAM: Yes, 2GB of DDR4 DRAM
Speed: 5000 MB/s Read / 4400 MB/s Write [1, 2]
2. MSI SPATIUM M470 PRO
Controller: Phison E27T
NAND Type: TLC
DRAM:No (It is a DRAM-less drive that uses Host Memory Buffer / HMB)
Speed: 7000 MB/s Read / 6800 MB/s Write

apparently people on buildapcsales are saying that the drive is QLC and DRAMless (it's confusing cause the non pro M470 is TLC with DRAM)
I was just thinking that there has to be a catch somewhere 😂. I figured it would be QLC, but not DRAMless which should be of no surprise to anyone at this current juncture.
