Addlink G55 Gen5 SSD Review - Best DRAMLESS SSD EVER?

[@ProjectileGrommet]

Still thirsting for the Asustor Flashstor Gen2 review. Cant wait to see how capable it is of remote gaming with respect to how power efficient it is

[@radeksparowski7174]

second here, also would love to hear your take on the 61,44TB solidigm d5 p5336 which is getting a big brother of 122,88TB capacity any time now...one day such specs drives in that capacity will not cost like a used car...more like a months worth grocery..../no living cost related pun intended....or maybe it was..../....sooo unobtainable....

[@rubenisai4562]

I'm waiting as well 😌

[@ASUSTOR_YT]

We totally understand, but he can't do the review without the product! Fortunately, I had instructed our logistics team on Friday to send it to him ASAP.

[@rubenisai4562]

@ASUSTOR_YT Thank you! 😊

I wished we had reasonably priced 8TB SSDs. If WD can sell an SN850X for $599, why aren’t there 8TB drives like this one at around $499-$525 range?

[@empedance1933]

Still bummed I didn't take advantage of when 8tb QVO drives were like $300 last year

[@That_Stealth_Guy]

My question about gen 5 drives is what temperatures and speeds the achieve at gen 4 and 3 speeds when used in older PC's. As far too many tests have shown, they don't offer many noticeable day to day operation speed increases.

[@ConorHanley]

No idea but not sure why you'd buy an expensive gen 5 drive to put in a gen 4 or 3 system.

[@ConorHanley]

Dramlesss for what , to lower costs for manufactures as if that's a huge cost other then for probable performance issues. Thanks but no thanks except , perhaps, for rarely used storage. Still don't get why this acceptable.

[@wojtek-33]

Dram used to be necessary but really isn't as important anymore. Unless all you do is large, sustained transfers all day then there will be little impact in real world usage.

[@stephen1r2]

@@wojtek-33 like installing games perhaps?

[@wojtek-33]

@stephen1r2 nah, installing a game is random writes not sequential. And let's say it did install a couple seconds faster, are you installing games every single day? Is a few seconds worth significantly higher price? Most people would say no. Drives are so fast now, dram just isn't as useful as it once was.

Where's the Addlink NAS D20 drives? Paper launch?
