It's ok. But since this is dramless write speeds are going to get very slow if you are dealing with large files.
You could get an nvme drive and case for under $100 and have a way smaller footprint and probably faster storage. Chances are the enclosure would be more relevant in the future as 2.5" sata is becoming less common over time.
No single drive can really be considered a good long-term storage solution unless it is backed up regularly. But as far as reliability, it's almost impossible to know because everyone has an anecdote about how any particular drive is garbage or bulletproof or whatever😄

Issue being that you're more likely to unplug the drive, with DRAM unless you have capacitors (which many consumer drives don't) you could potentially lose any data that hasn't yet been written to NAND. With a DRAM-less drive all your data will likely already be sitting in either the SLC cache or written to TLC NAND already so from a hot unplug perspective it should be safer.

.
DRAM is used to hold translation tables and without it random reads and writes will be slower than SSDs with DRAM. The peak spec read and write numbers are max speeds possible under ideal conditions - sequential reads where translation table look up overhead is amortized over long reads and sequential writes into the SLC cache. It gets worse as the SSD fills up.
The performance numbers for random reads and writes will be slower than those with DRAM all else being equal (like NAND latency and speed).
