The nvme drives don't suffer as much because the protocol allows dramless nvme SSDs to use memory on the host computer. SATA drives cannot do that. Dramless SATA drives made sense when SSDs with dram were really expensive and these brought SSDs into affordable range. That premise isn't as strong anymore.
They will still be faster than using HDDs, so if that is the bar to judge, then it doesn't matter but if the premium for an SSD with dram is marginal especially amortized over the life of that SSD, then why bother with dramless?
If you just sequentially read and write files of the order of 80GB without any random access, then the problem won't be as bad with dramless. The size of the SLC cache will be more critical for writes.

Worth the upgrade to Crucial MX500 in the 70s and dropping.
Only thing I thought was important for me is transfer speed?

in your case you don't need it and the difference isn't too large anyway
There are only so many fast lanes for nvme.

So if you do purchase this, make sure to backup the drive periodically.
