PNY CS1030 M.2 2280 1TB PCIe 3.0 NVMe Solid State Drive $66.99 after code with coupon.

This is a decent competitive DRAM-less 2100/1700 MBps drive with performance inline with other newer drives of this type (I.e. the SN550 and 980).

How bad is it to not have DRAM?

DRAM keeps the translation tables of where the needed blocks of a request are stored in the SSD in fast memory cache so there isn't much time lost when a request is made to figure out where it is. Without DRAM, these tables are kept in the SSD itself and so such requests require reads into the SSD memory to figure out which area of the SSD to fetch. This can reduce both read/write performace by as much as half. Also, it needs to be writing these tables into the SSD all the time increasing the wear.

These are still much faster than SATA ssds because of the interface but not as good as m.2 pcie ssds with dram. Frequent reads and writes like an OS disk has the maximum penalty. But based on where they are deployed, that reduced performance may not make a difference in practice, even a SATA ssd may have been sufficient in such cases.

So, you would buy these if you only have an m.2 slot available and have a relatively slow pc or laptop and budget is constrained so buying one with dram isn't worth it. You can also buy it as secondary storage for media, games, etc as an upgrade from a SATA ssd or hard drives if you have a m.2 slot available.

How about TBW?
There is no data for the TBW

Product Description:	Pros: Easily recognizable by bios in MSI, ASUS and GIGABYTE motherboards that I have installed these in. Good mid-range data transfer speeds, primarily used as 4.3 secondary drives to back up 4.4 primary drives. Very reliable and relatively inexpensive compared to some other brands, with the same results. Cons: Actually I have had no issues whatsoever with these M-2 drives so nothing bad to say about them. Overall Review: I have become fond of these drives because they are reliable, offer decent speed for games and data files. The 2 gb. drives give plenty of storage at a price that is much better than some of the major, overpriced brands.
