That SSD you just bought to replace your HDD may not be any faster. Oh, if you want the higher speed, you lose about 75% of the space advertised on the box.

490MB/sec for the first 50GB of a burst write, that's tons faster than a HDD. Sure, coping your movie collection might take a while but for day-to-day things you aren't writing more than 50GB in a burst.

However, those SLC caches are iffy IMO. Seems like a nice way to wear out the flash for QLC mode. Personally I get older SSDs with MLC, and over-provision them by about 25%.
