Announcing the TechPowerUp SSD Specs Database
We are announcing the latest addition to our PC enthusiast databases, the new TechPowerUp SSD Specs Database. Modeled along the lines of our immensely popular GPU Database, CPU Database, and hardware Reviews Database, the new SSD Specs Database, curated by Gabriel Ferraz, aims to be a definitive repository of information on solid-state drive (SSD) hardware specs, for all to freely access. Here, you'll find a growing collection of client SSD hardware specs across all relevant form-factors and information. The database also helps you identify multiple hardware revisions of the same SSD model, so you're aware of any bait-and-switch incidents, or vague specs by manufacturers.
The TechPowerUp SSD Specs Database has individual info pages on each capacity variant of an SSD model; besides any hardware variants it may have. You can have quick, actionable information on specs such as controller, NAND flash, DRAM cache, advanced NAND flash specs, interface, protocol, controller hardware specs, and known performance numbers from our testing. We are constantly adding new drives to this database, and you can help us grow, not just by suggesting improvements to the database itself, but for additions to the database, please reach out to the curator on the main page. But for now, enjoy what we've built for you!

1. controller's H.B.M. support
2. size range supported of H.B.M. (e.g. default / custom or range from-to)
3. DRAM cache size (range from-to)
(atm. it's possible to just search if there is any DRAM cache but not size)
Also, going by my own real-life performance data it doesn't matter which size of HMB, but which algorithms, i.e. you want WD SN770 and you'll never notice you have a DRAM-less drive
which supports DRAM Cache for storing Meta-Data, but also H.M.B. (Host Memory Buffer)
in this example A-ADATA has ones with 128MB DRAM on those
hence
those aren't faster / more responsive than just drives with HBM (in system RAM) only ?
(and ofc shall be better than no-HBM and no-DRAM cache drives while worse than drives with 1,2,4,GB onboard DRAM cache)
plus like recently SOLIDIGM shown with P41 (no-DRAM) and P44 Pro (nGB-DRAM)
with theirs custom driver (non Microsoft default driver ) it's more responsive (clever prefetch etc.)
plus they can use custom/dynamic size of HBM (not the default Microsoft driver enforced fixed size)
as result there are significant gains in performance
thus adding also one more point
4. database entry + filter search if the drive has custom driver not just default Microsoft one ;)
cause it would be nice to know/search if drive supports HBM at all (and what type), if it has fixed or custom size and if there is custom or not driver etc.
I can see the point of wanting to filter by DRAM/HBM, but too fine a level of detail won't help since some drives handle a lack of DRAM better than others
or Valve and others 'competitors' will do it sooner for e.g. SteamOS
(also the amount of titles using DirectStorage isn't even 0.01% of popular games so not problem, for now)
and yes, e.g. SLC cache size / behavior plays role too etc. again may need some filter for that ...
5. SLC cache present / type / size as filter
:)

They locked the drivers down because they keep blocking it working, some DRM and antivirus block it still to this day - it's requirements to function are quite strict
in sense of DirectStorage, i expect someone to come up with OSS variant too ...
Hmm can you help remember which drives you sent me in janurary? To be honest i've been quite busy so i didn't have much time and probably forgot them but i'll try ASAP
- S500 Pro - Fixed
- MaxioTech fixed
Thanks for the heads up. If you don't mind can you tell me again which drive i need to add?- Integral V2 Series 2.5" 120GB (I also now have details for the 240GB version that I haven't sent yet - it uses completely different components)
- Patriot Burst Elite (this is not the same as Burst as far as I can tell)
I also have the following new info (let me know if you want the flash id txt for each):- I couldn't find decent reviews, do you have any link for sources?
- Will add the Burst Elite
can you provide me some links for these other drives?listed as PCIe4x4 but that uses Phison E26 which is gen 5 controller, so PCIe5x4
New Apacer AS2280Q4 single side variant, bought yesterday:
Maxio controller + YMTC 3D TLC NAND, probably DRAM-less?
Data Sheet - see new variant at Specifications/Dimensions: Single side
SK hynix Gold S31 is listed as not having encryption, but it does feature AES 256-bit encryption / Pyrite 2.0 .

I have it running w/ Bitlocker on a Lenovo E485.
