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.

Technically you can do the same to a drive with DRAM, but it takes a substantially longer time to do so, and you might complete your operation before it reaches that wall.
If you don't think you'll have any long sustained writes, then you might not run into the issue, but I find I move stuff around enough where it's a nice piece of mind, considering how big files can get these days.
didn't hurt that i got it for $15 cheaper just 2 weeks back from this limited quantity deal -

But still a great price in this deal. Highly recommended.
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
To have a dram helps in performance, but for me the real reason that I want a dram is for the longevity of the sdd itself.
Of course there is a premium added to get a dram one. but if the price difference is less than $20-30, I'm definitely go with the mx500.

Thanks, what I was looking for!

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

Practically speaking, it is better to use a drive with DRAM for your OS. If the drive is just used for storage of large files such as media or games, then DRAM-less is fine.

THIS is correct.

Even low/mid-end drives with fast cache VS dram can sustain good write speeds for a certain amount of time before the cache simply can't keep up.

but i'm corrected, dram for faster reads and slc cache is my mistake maintaining faster transfer speeds
in a nutshell shouldn't affect majority of individuals that just needs an ssd
Another thing that people should be aware of when shopping for an SSDs:
- They tend to slow down as they approach full capacity.
- Larger capacity drives tend to have greater write endurance.
So it is beneficial to buy a larger capacity than you actually need.

a bit worried about what people are saying about the more recent releases/batches of the crucial mx500 drives
