DRAM cache is a must if you are planning to actively use your SSD (as opposed to using it for occasional read/write operations).

agreed, DRAMless drives I typically recommend using for temporary data transfers or any similar usecases where a chance of dataloss wouldn't be catastrophic

Is anyone making a substantial DRAM option? I would like to try running some even larger models than what will fit into 64/16gb SYS/GPU. Bigger is better.
