DRAM cacheiDRAM is a memory chip on the drive. HMB is a drive without DRAM that borrows host memory. None has neither. HMB not stated is a drive without DRAM where no source says whether it borrows host memory. An external drive counts when a source names the cache of the drive inside.

None5Reviewsynccomputers.co.uk/fanxiang-s101-2-5-sata-ssd-reviewRead 21 October 2026Sync Computers review of 26 June 2026. The spec list reads SLC Cache (no DRAM) and the text says the S101 has no DRAM buffer, so the drive writes at native TLC speed once the SLC cache is full. The maker's pages say only SLC cache. SATA has no host memory buffer, so the value is none. A non-lab review that does not name the tested capacity or the controller
