Drop The Cache, Drop The Money
Meet the Addlink G55, the primary PCIe 5.0 SSD utilizing Phison’s E31T DRAMless controller. You’ll be able to at present get your arms on the 1TB model for $115, or $195 for the 2TB model in the event you don’t want a heatsink, or spend that additional $1.50 to get one included simply in case you want it in some unspecified time in the future. The dearth of a DRAM cache hasn’t deterred Addlink from promoting sequential reads over 10GB/s and over 8GB/s writes, which Guru3D confirmed as being accurate. Additionally they proved the SLC cache is bigger than 64GB out of the field, additional testing locations the throttling level at round 430 GB on the 2TB mannequin.
The Phison controller on the Addlink G55 does get toasty, however not sufficient that passive cooling can’t deal with the warmth. It’s not the quickest PCIe 5.0 NVMe drive obtainable, but it surely’s about the one one you’ll get for that magical 10 cents per gig!
