In most day-to-day operations, there is very little difference in performance between the three types. For workloads that benefit from high random read and write performance, DRAM can definitely offer an advantage. DRAM can also reduce wear on NAND cells since they are relieved from the duty of storing the data map.
Most people will recommend an SSD with DRAM for your OS disk/volume or if you use applications that do a lot of mixed I/O, particularly random I/O. SSD's without DRAM will still be more performant than an HDD, but are typically best suited for general storage needs.
There are a lot more nuances around this topic, but I hope that helps.

I'm not sure if this drive always includes the 9.5mm adapter, or if that is an added bonus when buying direct from Crucial.
This drive is good quality and has dram.

the whole thing is dram then? if it's 1tb capacity then which is it?
edit: misinterpreted gb tb
dram is more considered as sustained transfer speed so it doesn't overload your system ram with files
the main complaint is not read but writing larger files but in a console it's fine; in storage is fine; in boot drive it's fine but in media workflow it's not because after 30 secs of transferring/writing then it will slow down to 30mbit/s instead of the theoretical max sata
ymmv but for a 2.5" it's ok from the brand itself but in the market there's so much more cheaper ssd from team group too that is just for people who just want to get out of spinning drives
This comment gives me the TB-GB's 😂
yeah i just noticed that lol he mentioned gb
i was distracted
I bought the Kingston. I plan to use this as fast storage for a surveillance computer. HDD will be the archive. I wonder if this is better choice over Kingston
