      Maybe you're right at $20....but there are different qualities coming out of china.
      At $40 it will be more and at $80 it will be as good as a big brand but much cheaper.
      Everything is made there, so it's only a matter of time before western companies are either forced to match those prices or go out of business.
      And Asian brands are sold at a higher price in the European and American markets. I just got some new earbuds from a Chinese brand for like £100 which sound just as good as some Sony earbuds I tried which cost over £200 The build quality was also comparable. And they sound better than AirPods 3.

      SLC caching is in almost all consumer SSDs, because it enables higher burst speeds for writes, which is great for marketing. SLC caching is not typically used in Enterprise SSDs, because enterprise customers expect consistent latency, and SLC caching is very fast until the cache fills, then it is as slow as direct TLC writes.

      A lot of people don't seem to understand that a vast majority of internet-users are not gamers, nor do anything that requires having high-capacity SSDs, nor that they must have the very latest in expensive tech.
      They just like to browse the internet, watch funny videos on RUclips or badly-acted movies on P*rnhub, and use office-suite programs like LibreOffice/Microsoft Office to get basic work tasks done.
      A basic, cheap 120GB SSD can do all of that with even a Windows 10 installation, though 7 still seems to be more popular. Even if they only last a year or two before becoming victim to the E-Reaper's scythe, people can easily replace them because of their dirt-cheap cost and wide-spread availability.

The thing is tho, all drives need ram of some kind, DRAMless ssd just use a small amount of system ram through the port instead.
