That´s nice

After very bad experience with the Patriot P200 I don´t trust most SSD-reviews because the most/all benchmarks only use the SLC-cache.

with the Patriot P200

Yeah I have a Patriot P200, too. I know how you feel Good thing is it influenced how I do review

Huh, you mean tis review?

Patriot P200 1 TB Review

Priced at just $89.99 for the 1 TB version, the Patriot P200 is the perfect solution for users wanting large affordable storage to keep all their games on SSD. Even though it's based on TLC, sustained write performance is amazing, and there is no visible speed drop.

In this review it looks like the 1TB it can write 1,5TB with a speed 419MB/s

I posted some tests from me in the Patriot-comments

I would love to see documented testing in actual measured productivity improvements comparing various forms of storage. Like seeing who gets to work faster on "the 405" during rush hour .... the Porsche, Corvette or Tesla

All of them arrive at the same time as the potholes in the road (vulnerabilities) instead of being patched require a new section of road to be built making the trip slower and negating any speed advantage any had.

I have a question i checked DRAM
NT5CC128M16JR-EK on Nanya site and it says its 2Gb Density model so why you said its only 256Mb ? it uses only 1/8 of its capacity for DRAM cache and 7/8 for something else or is there some othe reason ?

I am asking because i want to buy 1TB SATA SSD just for games and I am deciding between: Seagate Barracuda 120 1TB or Kingston KC600 1024GB or eventually Samsung 860 EVO 1TB but its little bit more expensive maybe even Apacer AS350 1TB because its kinda cheap here but i cant find anywhere if it even have DRAM ....

Your are confusing Gigabit and Gigabyte. Memory chips are rated in Gigabit capacities, for example 2 Gbit (or Gb, lowercase b).

Since there is some confusion around that topic I convert to MB (uppercase B), which is Byte, not bit. 8 bits per byte, so 2 Gbit / 8 = 256 MB

Does that make sense?
