The WD Blue you're talking about does NOT have dram. I was surprised too when I was checking it out the other day.

DRAMless SSD still faster and solid upgrade from a HDD.
SSDs with DRAM provide overall better performance compared to DRAMless, but will cost more.
worst than hdd, I am not using high end harddisk but I can get 80MB/s in write speed. For this ssd, around 30MB/s only because no dram......
A blue SSD will have a 75% longer life span. Since I saw the low green nvme specs, they're off my list. Fine for something that you aren't going to use too much.
Has an SLC cache for those worried about that, but ssd caches are limited and mostly just make benchmarks look better. Unless you're doing a rather small amount of reads/writes and have very small amount of RAM, your OS will do the caching for you.
An extra 8GB of system ram will do a lot for overall system drive caches.
The WD SN550 is DRAMless but the Intel 665P has DRAM. The WD (DRAM-less) is faster, sequentially than the Intel...as well as in random read/write. For loading games, I cannot draw any meaningful conclusions. The authors talk about a 15% gain...but they are also talking about 14.5 vs 16.6 seconds from fastest to slowest. They, in fact say....
What has become blatantly clear from this test is that it doesn't matter what sort of SSD you have for gaming, so long as it's an SSD of some sort.
I concede the point that they did not test this specific drive, but they did test a DRAM-less WD drive 2 years ago. But I also have a bias. I am running a, I don't know, 45 year old SanDisk 128 SSD as my cache drive for my media editing. I have moved it through many computers over the years (primary, wife's, server, external, sitting in a drawer) before putting it back into my main rig. It is absurdly faster than my WD Red 14 TBs in RAID (using onboard controller so that could be a bottle neck). I don't care about TBW for it because I don't edit that much, and it was released in 2013...I've gotten my money's worth out of it. I find it difficult to believe that you get 30MB/s out of a 1 TB drive when I get 335 read / 250 write out of a 10 year old 128 GB drive (I just transferred files from it to my NVMe drive so that the old drive would be the bottle neck)
I am open to reviews you can find that show that this 1TB drive only gets 30MB for sustained write.
