hey! I'm looking for a fast drive to use as L2 cache for a build, the thing is the drive it will serve is kind of fast already (980 pro) with primo cache there will be 10 gb as L1 and want something with high random 4k qd1 reads... READS<<<  low latency would be good too, and hi spead Write is not that important

Apart from Optane, any suggestions please? 

I am between the KC3000 and MP600 Pro but any suggestion will be appreciated

The Fury Renegade is an evolution of the KC3000, they reserved more space and increased the longevity of the drive.

You don’t really want to cache an SSD with another SSD… you’d want something that is substantially faster or you’re just adding overhead and complexity for no real gain. 
 

Optane or more RAM are the answers.

yes, I know, I will be caching to ram, it would be for an L2 cache just for system restarts ect. the software can fetch all the info from it instead of having to rebuild again from the start
one of the builds that I need it for is a 5 gen AMD 🤦‍♂️ ...idk I kind of want to go optane but at the same time, as they stopped the technology and is still so expensive, I'm not so sure, I know eventually I will get at least a p1600x to try it out

I wish ssd manufacturers had drives with higher random qd1 speeds, even if they needed to sacrifice top qd800 speeds in order to achieve it
