I'm in the market for a new SSD and I'm torn between the WD Black SN7100 and the SN850X. They are priced similarly and seem to offer comparable performance. However, I heard that the SN850X has D-RAM, which is like a cache for the SSD. How significant is having D-RAM for performance? I'm not an intense gamer, with the most demanding games I play being ones like Helldivers 2 or Baldur's Gate 3. Which SSD should I choose to get the best performance?

The D-RAM cache does help improve SSD speeds, especially after many small write tasks have taken place. It's more crucial for a boot drive, though. The SN7100, on the other hand, features a newer controller which can mean lower latency and better power efficiency. For gaming, the performance difference may not be as noticeable as you'd think!
