It varies quite a bit. There are two different types of caches: SLC and DRAM. Most drives use SLC caching, higher end drives often use both. Typically the SSDs with DRAM have a ratio of 1GB DRAM per TB of flash. SLC caching is using a portion of the flash in SLC mode, where it stores 1 bit per cell rather than the typical 2-4 (2 for MLC, 3 for TLC, 4 for QLC) in exchange for higher performance. SLC cache size varies wildly. Some SSDs allocate a fixed size cache, some allocate it dynamically based on how much free space is available. It can potentially be 10s of GBs on larger SSDs. |
