I'm posting this because I believe there could be an opportunity for Computer Forum to better serve members and visitors when it comes to purchasing an SSD.
Around a year ago, I purchased a Sandisk SSD. I did what I thought was enough research, and was lucky enough to choose an SSD with MLC based flash, because I figured as long as I went that route, I should be fine. I was only partially correct. This SSD does not contain DRAM cache, but luckily has a decent enough memory controller...
SSD's, Controllers, TLC, and DRAM - as clear as mud
