CS900

The CS900 SSD (what you have there) is a DRAM-less design, meaning that performance can suffer under sustained read operations. While I don’t know how frequently a car has sustained read or write operations, DRAM-less designs are, by and large, a cost-saving measure. It’s not an awful drive, but get

My mistake, when you also linked the monitor, I mistook that for the usual mark of an integrated graphics processor. The CS900 is a solid little drive. No DRAM on it but based on your computing habits, it’s more than enough for you. I appreciate you also linking the external drive. I’m sure that it’

The CS900 is a DRAM-less SSD. Aka, it has no Cache. Which implies a few things: Random write performance will be worse than other SSD's (you can ignore this if you only want to save videos to it and not use it as a game drive or OS drive tbh) When the SLC Cache is used up, it will get substantially

The diffrence is that sata drives will be slower, but just for games it shouldn't be noticeable. However from what I've heard for sata ssds you really want to have a dram cache or they can stop to a crawl when transfering large files. For just games it might be enough though. Something like PNY CS90

I have used only 3 brands of SSD, and NVMe. over a 10 year period. Samsung, Western Digital, and PNY.All of which have been 100% without issue. PNY CS900 cheap SATA SSDs for various upgrades etc.. 240GB-500GB The WD, and Samsung drives I have used in numerous builds, and my own personal builds.SN750
