DRAM is used to store an index (a "map") so that when you look for a file, it knows exactly where to find it (think of a card catalog in a library). DRAM-less SSDs would store this on the NAND flash itself, which is slower than DRAM. Storing this information on the NAND flash would introduce more wear, but that's where wear-leveling technology comes in. Now, wear-leveling also would introduce a bit more latency, but it's a good trade-off to extend the life of the drive.
More recently, to reduce the latency of DRAM-less SSDs, modern NVMe drives (NVMe version 1.2 and higher - NOT the same as PCIe version) now leverage HMB technology (host memory buffer), which borrows the system memory in place of a dedicated DRAM. This significantly improved the performance of DRAM-less SSDs, so when you hear things like "DRAM-less SSDs are worse than hard drives!", that's simply not true (and never really was for the vast majority of people). This does not use a significant amount of system memory, so don't go out and upgrade your kit to 64gb.
Even what I said is likely a simplification (there's also stuff to consider such as how much space is needed for the mapping index), but hopefully this helps explain that DRAM-less SSDs are not somehow "garbage" as some would quickly declare.

Same as my Crucial P2 in a i5 6th gen. Samsung 970 performed just about the same.
