1GB Silicon Power A60 NVMe SSD costs 30$

I just had a quick look 1GB SSDs are now 30$...
Thats the same price as Primocache.

I'm guessing sales volumes reflect this fact?
Need I say more..?

Yes, you need to say more.

Because 1 Gb is much less than the smallest memory cache I use.
And an NVE drive is not the same thing as a caching tool - not even close,

I think Logic meant 1TB...

Then they would be a good candidate for an L2.

Let me correct that statement: No, not even good enough for L2.

My system has a max write speed of 1630 MB/sec and a max read speed of 3235 MB/sec.
Which is (at read) much faster than the Silicon Power A60 NVMe SSD, which has a max wite speed of 1600MB/sec and read speed of 2200 MB/sec.

With Primo cache, I reach 3334 MB/sec write speed and 3821 MB/sec read speed, about twice as fast as this NVMe drive.
