I was quite surprised when I noticed that all of the PCIe 4 SSDs that I've found so far are TLC. Having learned about the smart caching that comes on QLC drives (and I can only assume TLC as well), I'm concerned about buying a TLC drive that "just fits" what I need it to. Are there any MLC PCIe 4 drives out there? Has anyone run any tests on a nearly-full PCIe 4 TLC drive to see if it can still come close to advertised speeds?
Having the above background info should help me decide: do I go 1 TB TLC + X570 (to ensure lots of free space for SLC cache), 512 GB TLC + X570 (if cache is for some reason not an issue) or 512 GB MLC + B450?
