Accepted Answer

There is no heatsink/heatspreader above what is pictured in the product photos. (There's a label that goes over all the chips and that's about it.)

Question 5

Does this have DRAM?

Accepted Answer

The 990 EVO PLUS does not have DRAM, which Samsung did to supposedly make it less expensive. It doe shave HMB = Host Memory Buffer technology  No, the Samsung 990 Evo does not have DRAM cache. Instead, it uses a Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology, which leverages a portion of the system's RAM for data mapping operations. This DRAM-less design allows for cost savings and reduced power consumption, but it can impact performance in certain workloads, especially those with heavy write or random read/write operations. I have one of these 4TB SSDs and it is my C drive, plus two of the 4TB 990 PROs, one for data (I am a publisher and have a LOT of files for book projects, including photos/illustrations) and one for games. I probably should have gotten another 990 PRO to replace the EVO model, but I have had no major issues with any of them since I built the system last November. If you can afford the 990 PRO, I would get that.
