Hello, seeking opinion on an SSD related topic.
I've done some research and noticed that some SSDs have a 200GB or more pSLC cache on a 1TB SSD m.2 drive but later on the consistent speed of seq writing drops by a lot in the mid 1000s.
My question is, how do you see this change? Some SSDs such as from Samsung or Kioxia have a smaller cache but their speeds don't drops as much relatively to competition and therefore can maintain a much higher sustained speed later on thoughout controlled benchmark tests.
Do you like the modern way of dictating SSD performance by allowing it to wield massive caches or do you think the old ways, such as that of Samsung with smaller cache but greater sustained speeds is the way to go for durability/longevity, overall usage smooth experience?
Might contribute to my SSD purchasing decision.
Bonus question. Thought of it just now:
The Samsung 970 EVO Plus is very old, released in 2019. Is it worth the purchase in 2024?
