I believe the SU800 uses TLC (3 bit per cell) flash technology, but uses SLC caching for a portion of the free space left on the drive. This helps with write speeds, but does not help with longevity unfortunately. Almost all of the consumer / pro-sumer level SSDs from Samsung are also TLC (3 bit per cell). Only the enterprise SSDs are still available with SLC, but these are tremendously expensive. The same goes for the XPG SX8200 Pro, which only uses SLC caching, but is not an SLC drive internally.
Interesting! I believe you may be actually right. I can see Adata websites specifying SLC Caching only, indeed. Did you find any source that mentions TLC use for storage? I will pin your comment, so that others can see it. And thank you so much for passing by ;)
These are my favourite NVMe, 2.5" and mSATA drives, I've tried to be as fast as I could. Did I miss out any other bargain out there? Let us all know in the comments below please, and subscribe to stay in touch ;)
