- wtallis 6y agoIt doesn't need capacitors for the data written out to the SLC cache (storing one pit per NAND flash memory cell rather than three), which is the only cache that's actually multiple GB in size. The volatile RAM caches on consumer drives tend to be pretty small, and data is resident in them just long enough to batch together enough writes to provide good throughput.
- vbezhenar 6y agoYou need to write full amount of disk size to get the "real" write speed and to eliminate any kind of caching. Though it's not clear whether that would be a useful metric, most users are not going to fill their disks every day.
