New DapuStor SSD pairs high-capacity QLC with a permanent pSLC region — trades 6% to 20% of its QLC capacity for more than 7x faster random writes
PC Components Storage SSDs New DapuStor SSD pairs high-capacity QLC with a permanent pSLC region — trades 6% to 20% of its QLC capacity for more than 7x faster random writes News By Shane Downing Published 22 September 2026 The dual-mode J5060 counters QLC’s slow writes by giving up a portion of its capacity.

The drive’s new firmware runs “selected QLC cells” in a faster pseudo-SLC (pSLC) mode, trading capacity for speed.As an example, the 30.72TB model trades around 4TB of QLC for 800GB of pSLC, a ratio closer to 5:1 than 4:1.
