    DRAM-less SSD - Yes or No?


    Hi Folks,
    I am looking at cheap SSD 128gb disks to replace old HDD and found out that these cheap SSD's are without DRAM which expensive ones have.
    Question - is it ok to buy SSD without DRAM for daily use - OS, web browsing or there is strong NO to these SSD's?
    Understand that these drives will be slower, but it is ok with me. What about life time? MTBF varies from 1.5 million to 2.5 million.
    So want to know Your thoughts.
    Thanks.

    :)

  2. what is DET DRAM?

    "DET DRAM" means "Detecting DRAM."
    if your board is hanging on that step of the boot process, try some different ram.

    SSD Crucial Bx 100 - rattling/vibrating. Possible?

    This has been suggested several times already, and it has been suggested you try to move the SSD, remove it, or even suspend it in your case. Will you please try one of these?

    If you don't understand vibration and resonance, please refer to @dorsetknob 's post above. *Smile DRAM-less SSD  - Yes or No? :) It has been explained that something else moving/vibrating (even if you don't think they're vibrating they are...), fans, hard disk drives, and anything with a motor will cause some form of vibration at certain frequencies. This can be transfered through your case's chassis and where you mounted your SSD could be reaching a certain frequency that causes it to slightly move and rattle against the case.

    We are suggesting you take action and report back..you keep asking questions from step 1...we should be on step 4 by now...that is solution.

    Try what has been suggested and report back please. Otherwise all you're doing is leading this thread in an endless circle and the help will stop shortly thereafter.

    DRAM-less SSD - Yes or No?

    Windows 10 SSD Boot and Sleep faliure

    Windows cannot stop the BIOS recognising the SSD. If at any time you can go into the BIOS and the SSD is not listed then you have an (intermittent) hardware fault. It does not matter what the precursor steps are if the hardware was OK it must be listed

    Step 6 is categorical, you have a hardware fault. BIOS device recognition is always before drivers load so they cannot affect the process
