data-end=\"3472\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">One of the most important factors affecting sustained write performance is <strong data-start=\"3458\" data-end=\"3471\">SLC Cache<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3474\" data-end=\"3525\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Many modern consumer SSDs use TLC NAND or QLC NAND.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3527\" data-end=\"3599\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">However, part of the NAND capacity can temporarily operate as SLC cache.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3601\" data-end=\"3707\"><span style=\"color:

#000000\">During short transfers, the SSD writes incoming data into this faster cache area first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3798\" data-end=\"3863\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">This creates the high write speeds users often see in benchmarks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3865\" data-end=\"3877\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3879\"
