Write cache size (measured)iData written at full speed in one long sequential write on an empty drive before the speed drops.

548GB5Reviewtomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/kingston-nv3-ssd-review/2Read 14 October 20262TB sample with SMI SM2268XT2 controller and Kioxia 162-layer BiCS6 QLC flash. Iometer sustained sequential write, 1 MiB blocks, QD32, over 15 minutes: almost 5.7 GB/s for just over 96 seconds, which the review calls a 548 GB cache. After the cache the drive drops straight to about 250 MB/s, which the review calls a folding state, so the post-cache write field is left empty

500GB3Reviewtomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/teamgroup-mp44q-2tb-ssd-reviewRead 14 October 20262TB. Text says the cache is around 500GB, roughly where the drive falls after writing at 5.75 GB/s for 86 seconds in a 15-minute Iometer sequential write at QD32 with 1MiB blocks. The drive was prefilled to 50 percent. Faceofit reports about 465 GB and is not used

Write speed after the cache (measured)iWrite speed in the first state after the fast cache is full, when the drive writes straight to TLC or QLC. Tom's Hardware calls it TLC mode. The slower folding state and the lowest dip are not stored. Only from a long sequential write test.

Highest temperature under load (measured)iHighest drive sensor reading in a sustained write test of 10 minutes or more, on the bare drive unless the row is a heatsink version. Short benchmark runs do not count. Heatsink, airflow and room temperature go in the source note.

HeatsinkiVersions sold. The base lists every version and each variant row lists its own. A water block or a cooler with a fan counts as a heatsink. A thermal pad or label alone is bare. A heatsink in the box that the buyer fits, as on the XPG MARS 980 BLADE, counts as with heatsink.
