No, it's a server drive and they tend not to use SLC caches because the long term performance consistency is what is important. That's also why the performance is a bit low, but this drive probably has better performance than most consumer drives after the cache has been used up.

Still only 2.8GB/s? Things haven't really gotten any faster. ( although I assume that is not the purpose of this controller. )UltraWide - Monday, June 24, 2019 - link
It needs more PCIe lanes or 4.0shabby - Monday, June 24, 2019 - link
That won't help, it's qlc not tlc.shabby - Monday, June 24, 2019 - link
Oh wait it's both, so if those are tlc numbers then qlc will be even slower. Dammit where the edit button.GreenReaper - Monday, June 24, 2019 - link
They'll just repurpose part of it as an SLC cache for the peak benchmark figures.extide - Monday, June 24, 2019 - link

Other M.2 PCIe3.0 drives are getting about 3.5GiB/s
