Is 2.5" WD Blue 3D NAND DRAMless?

[mickets]

Hi, I've been looking for a SSD to replace the HDD on a laptop and I've been pretty much been waiting on a price drop on either MX500 or 860 EVO.

But now there's a sale on a 2.5" WD Blue 500GB 3D NAND SSD. This drive is comparable to the other two, right?

Or is it DRAMless?

it has dram, its about the same as those others.

Yeah I have a bunch of SanDisk Ultra 3D which is the exact same drive and they are fine though only if it's significantly cheaper than the MX500 since I feel like I'd still prefer having the MX500 as a boot drive.

It has DRAM.

May I ask why?

I really like the WD Blue SSD's for their price and performance along with the 5 year warranty.  It's one of the truly under appreciated drives out there.

The MX500 and 860 evo also have this.

Pretty sure everyone and their mom knows that the WD Blue 3D is on par with the 860 evo and MX500.

Well I've already placed my order and got the WD Blue. I believe I did the right thing, price/GB wise.

Thanks for the help!
