Incredible drive, but I fear UserBenchmark is lumping multiple drives into this one. I benchmarked a new-to-market SSD called "Inland Performance Plus 2TB" that sports the new Phison-E18 controller for 7000MBps/6850MBps R/W speeds and it couldn't benchmark it because it "detected a RAM-cached drive". I think this is the previous version with the Phison-E16 controller called "Inland Performance" SSDs. It's confusing because the firmware on the SSD doesn't identify the drive as anything but PCIe SSD, thus the generic name on UserBenchmark, and the lumping together of two unique drives. [Jan '21 bwmeyer96]
