Review: HP EX900 500GB M.2. SSD - Intensely Fast With the new SM2263XT controller
Okay, try to understand this, incredibly fast, yet cheap. The HP EX900 500GB M.2. SSD that we review today has a new Silicon Motion (SM2263XT) controller. I certainly did not think that in the year 2018 I would be recommending a DRAMless SSD, but the EX900 hits a very nice sweet spot, so yes, I can.

We tested the H370, now we look at the nearly identical B360 model of the ASUS ROG STRIX B360-F Gaming. We'll again pair it with a six-core Core i7 8700K processor. Yes, this is the Coffee Lake platf...

Say Hello to my little cache !
http://www.romexsoftware.com/en-us/primo-cache/index.html
Also, I can assign as much RAM as I want with it, instead of the fixed "512MB" or whatever this Silicon Motion tech offers.
To be honest I don't even think that AS SSD or any other disk benchmark is capable of measuring the real speed of a RAM cache.
And no, it's not snake oil at all, everything is insanely fast, and the more I use the system the faster it gets, as the cache learns better which stuff to keep in memory.
When using this, which SSD you use becomes completely irrelevant, could be just as well a basic SATA one. The capacity becomes more important, and to be honest I'm starting to find 500GB ssd a bit limiting in 2018, will probably get upgraded to a 2TB one sometime this year.
The downside is that RAM is quite expensive today. I was lucky to buy my 64GB when it was half the price of today, before the price boom.

Nice find. Here's mine on my 950 PRO 256GB(have yet to move to the 960 EVO):

Just for comparison here's my 960 EVO 500GB after I installed W10 PRO and transferred a few files(~10GB).
