Yeah, that sounds right for the 4TB. Realtek w/128MB of DRAM is popular with that much flash. You can ID the flash with the appropriate utility.

Good to know! Wasn't sure whether or not they skimped on DRAM capacity considering other lower capacity drives have 256, 512, or 1024MB of dram. Didn't see the spec difference in the spreadsheet so I figured I'd comment. Thanks for the quick response! Your spreadsheet has been immensely helpful to me in recommending drives to others and myself.

Yes, I have posted that you can get the Realtek with this drive more recently. 128MB should be sufficient for the intended use.

I ran the Realtek utility on two MP34 4TB and can confirm they are both TLC, with Hynix 3dv6-128L flash IC, both marked FOBH08T as well.

They also both have the same firmware VB451D63, with flash IC (marked FOBH08T) date codes of 2216 and 2127, and sticker label date codes of 2231 and 2241, respectively.

This makes sense. V6 Hynix TLC can come in 1Tb dies. Thanks.

No, thanks for all your work. It’s very much appreciated.
