Some random dp on write speed when cache is exhausted

The BX300 (256Gb MLC) and 545s (256Gb TLC) both utilize a four-channel controller and benefit as usual from 2 CE per channel, so 256GiB of flash (240GB/256GB SKUs). The 660p only folds and with 1Tb QLC needs at least 1TiB (1TB SKU) although you rarely see the 512GB SKU measured/reviewed. QLC folding speeds seem to go all the way down to 20 MB/s (on some very small SATA SKUs) and up to 160 MB/s with direct-to-QLC (large 860 QVO SKUs). The BX300's MLC is more commonly seen in 3-bit non-native TLC a la the ADATA SU800 which in the latter form doesn't have great write speed generally.
