  isnt this the one that has way lesser cache than the 2TB ones?

    Also the 4TB is QLC so it would be slower at sustained writes.

    It has the same cache as the 2TB model, meaning instead of 1GB cache per TB, it's 512mb per TB

        shit you're right, that's even worse than I realised. Thanks for correcting.
        I had misread this part

        "While 1 GB of cache per TB of memory is common, Crucial only provides 512 MB for the MX500 with 4 TB. Considering that even the 1 TB model of the MX500 has 1 GB of DRAM cache, this is surprising"
