Is intenso 128gb ssd dramless?

[Rujdaga]

I saw an intenso 128gb ssd in one of the local pc stores , and im wondering is it dramless or not? It costs about 30€ .

Intenso got different models, but I think I know which one you're talking about.

If I'm correct, it lacks DRAM and is instead filled with a huge pile of unreliable garbage.

 

But can you post a link or a product code?

Ah that's the "not so bad"-version.
It actually features an SLC cache and seems to be reliable.

 

But it's not worth 30€. In Germany I can get the same drive for 16€.

What about kingston ones? They are like 40-45€ for 128gb?

Depends on the individiul drive.
Where do you live? SSDs seem rather expensive in your country.

Yup, all the Samsung EVO SSDs have a DRAM cache.

You should also look at Adata and Crucial SSDs. You might find some good deals and they are generally pretty good.

The WD Blue 3D has a DRAM cache. It would be a pretty good choice.

~60€ is an okay price for a 500GB model.

Do you mean that the "intenso high" (https://www.intenso.de/en/products/solid-state-drives/2%2C5"-SSD-High-Performance)

has no dram chache and is unreliable? Because they seem to be very similar...

[Xeve]

No wait the "Top" (https://www.testberichte.de/p/intenso-tests/top-iii-testbericht.html) doesn't have a dram cache.

But the "High" (https://www.testberichte.de/p/intenso-tests/high-performance-ssd-480gb-3813450-testbericht.html) does!
