  damn, i bought a 500GB 570 for $59 after 22% off + shopback 10% cashback on Friday.
  If I knew there is an extra $20 redemption, I would have bought the 1TB :( It would be $84.

  If we get the $20 gift card after we buy the item, does that mean we can't redeem it in that transaction, i.e. do we have to use that $20 towards another new order with Shopping Express?

    It's a MasterCard electronic gift card from WD. You can use that card to buy other toys (i.e. bedroom toys).

    Real world performance metrics have it (apparently) faster than a KC2500, which I think we can all agree set a price:performance benchmark for a PCIE 3 DRAM TLC NVME.

    However, large capacity DRAM-less is possibly not an optimal use of funds - if it was a 500GB at half the price, I would definitely buy.

      is the KC2500 the replacement to the A2000? is update better? I am looking to purchase another 1TB nvme. I already have the 1TB A2000 and its been perfect.

      Would this SN570 be an upgrade over the 1TB A2000?

        KC2500 is the successor to KC2000, which is itself the better version of A2000.

        Both A2000 and SN570 have 5 years warranty and 600 TBW endurance.

        A2000
        Peak Write Speed - 2000 MB/s
        SLC Cache - 150GB
        Sustained Write Speed (after cache is exhausted) - 500 MB/s down to 400 MB/s

        KC2500
        Peak Write Speed - 2600 MB/s
        SLC Cache - 150GB
        Sustained Write Speed (after cache is exhausted) - 1300 MB/s down to 700 MB/s

        SN570
        Peak Write Speed - 2750 MB/s
        SLC Cache - 12GB
        Sustained Write Speed (after cache is exhausted) - 590 MB/s

        So for general users read/write SN570 is significantly faster than A2000, with the exception of large file transfers over 12GB (how often would you think you would do this). For power users, I would recommend finding another model with DRAM.

          @tekisei: Thank you very much for the detailed response.

          Do you have a recommendation upgrade over the A2000 1TB as I am transferring this over to another family member. I'd like to replace it with a newer 1TB with DRAM sub $150 preferred. Open to decently priced 2TB.

              @tekisei: Thank you again. If not considering sales. Which would be best value nvme with dram PCIe 3 should I be looking at?

              I guess I'm not in a rush to buy one so willing to wait it out for when sales come around again.

              The 3 mentioned above, these would be upgrades over the Kingston A2000?

                @kunfushun: You should consider your use case, the above 3 are all upgrades in some way, especially the KC3000. However, if you don't have PCIe4 or don't think you will move the drive to a PCIe4 system there's no point in paying the extra.

                You can also consider Samsung Evo Plus 970 which used to be almost Kingston KC2500 level, but after they revised the parts due to shortages it is no better than the Silicon Power P34A80.

    Nonsense, dramless will still work as windows drive and will be a lot faster than any mechanical drive still. A lot of new laptops come with dramless ssds

      Bangerbargain on 28/11/2022 - 11:26

      Oic so why people recommend dram ssd over dramless for os, random write better on dram and its more consistent doesnt lose performance in that area over time? Agree dram better than mechanical.

      • 

        maybe a bot on 28/11/2022 - 13:50

        because dram drives tend to be actually better drives (eg power consumption, performance) than dramless drives..

        os is often not that intensive, dramless is perfectly fine as boot drive if you're on a budget

          Bangerbargain on 28/11/2022 - 16:05

          @maybe a bot: Oic makes sense, so drives like this with slc ok budget option better than mechanical.

            @Bangerbargain: I have this as a 2nd SSD on my legion 5 pro 3070 "gaming" laptop which came with SK Hynix PC711 (dramless) from lenovo, and it's perfectly fine and speedy even for gaming

  If I wanted to replace an old Samsung SSD with this for storage and games, is this sufficient? Does DRAMLESS affect gaming or not so much?

  • 

    FeZZa21 on 29/11/2022 - 12:04

    not so much, it's plenty fast enough for either normal or gaming use. it's only slower than dram ones if you're doing lots of large file copies etc
