[SOLVED] About different types of ssds

[Goldilock456]

Hello i have been told about ssds from a friend and found out about dram and dram-less ssds. i am wondering what the differences are because i noticed a decent price gap from them. i'm gonna be using the ssd for gaming and putting my windows on the ssd. Here is a link to a dram-less ssd (i think) that i am looking to buy will it be fine? Thanks in advance. https://uk.crucial.com/ssd/mx500/ct500mx500ssd1

Only cheap ones are "dramless" and that means no cache built in and that makes them slower while reading and writing larger files.

That MX500 is just fine. Top choice.

Noticeable in moving / copying files because DRAM have some kind of buffer when transferring files (kind of RAM in PC) so you wont have decreased speed situation because DRAM tend to keep your transfer speed constant
DRAM-less will slow down speed when data occupied about 80-90% storage capacity
