Does DRAM less SSD make a difference in day to day activities if one does not copy large amount of data regularly?

How much does HMB help?

Does this mean that MX500 (with DRAM) which is limited to 500-600MBps is better than Crucial P2 (without DRAM) which has sequential read/write speeds around 2000MBps?

TIA

In day to day activities you might notice a few seconds delay in certain tasks(more difference in some intensive tasks like windows updates or antivirus scanning etc) but even then it will be faster than any hdd you had in the past. HMB only helps if the specific ssd model is good in utilizing it efficiently like WD SN550(older version before component change) & SN570 which despite being dram less can match many dram ssd performance in many scenarios. You will never see 2000MB/s speed on any dram less NVMe ssd for more than 60-90 seconds & in case of crucial P2 it is 90 seconds beyond which it will crawl at 40MB/s usb 2.0 speeds when copying enough amount of data in one go so crucial MX500 will leave it in dust once this limit of P2 newer/inferior version is reached.

In my opinion one should not get dram less ssd nowadays unless price difference is significant so for example if one is getting 500gb dram less ssd for 3000 while same capacity dram ssd for 3900 then one should go for dram ssd.

Thermaltake V250 case/cabinet for ~3500 after 40% coupon but before any card discounts:


Normally, that is what 3x 120mm Thermaltake Pure ARGB fans would cost, here you're getting free a bedside table along with it

Over but I have to say, this trend of putting hdd bays inside the psu shroud is making options very limited for those of us using more than 2-3 3.5" HDDs.

Guys, is the instant card discount not working? for ICICI. I have items worth more than 5K and there is some business cashback thing autoapplied. But No card discount

Newer DRAM less SSDs likd SSD 980 are very good. You will not see any different if it is OS drive. P2 etc also come with slower NAND but even with those, I doubt if you will see any different in normal use cases.

Not all items are eligible for card discount, I today ordered a bunch of stuff for around 5.1k & instant discount was not applied as it was a mixture of electronics & home kitchen products.

Agree but P2 is just too bad, you don't want a ssd offering usb 2.0 speeds of 40MB/s for sequential transfer no matter what the circumstances.
 
Friends I have to buy 5-6 different items from the current Amazon Sale, but I do not want to start separate threads for asking my doubts and asking for suggestions from the friends for each of those items.

Can someone please guide me, where exactly should I post the list of these items like - Online UPS, Fire TV Stick, Hard Drives etc. etc. and ask for any specific doubts that I have regarding them.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, that is due to the QLC NAND which gets slower and slower as the drive fills and has lower life. But, it should not get that slow of 40Mbps. That could be a drive or controller issue.
