Why this configuration
A 960GB DRAM SSD is the consistency-first shortlist. An onboard DRAM cache holds the flash mapping table on the drive itself, so random performance stays steady when the workload keeps going rather than tailing off.
Usually chosen for: workstations, virtual machines and anything that writes continuously.
Good fit: workstation and creative loads that hammer random I/O.
