    a 4TB QLC M.2 drive is pretty insane however I would hope that it comes with a decent sizable DRAM cache as otherwise the hit to performance and durability might be too big a hurdle for most to take a chance

    eitherway it’s pretty cool to see that limits continue to be pushed in the hardware space

      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.
