NO ONE has lifetime warranty on PC storage goods so why would Team Group.
HMB allows the controller to store I/O mapping data in a small portion of system memory instead of a DRAM module on the controller. Because the PCIe bus allows very fast transfer speeds, the difference between to the two methods are not really that far apart. You would really only see a difference on a synthetic benchmark.
Including a DRAM module on the controller package is ideal, but it adds cost and consumes more power. As PCIe bus speeds and bandwidth increase, you will likely see more manufacturers move towards HMB and away from DRAM.

Something I've been wondering; if nvme drives use flash memory for cache, and performance tanks when it gets full because it can't use that space for cache, then what kind of performance would you get if you made a partition that was 85% of the disk, leaving 15% permanently unallocated? Would this then result in the slowdown never happening?
Yes, but it's really only write speeds that are impacted.

Does it matter? 1.8 GB/ sec vs 3 GB/sec? Like you transfer files maybe a few seconds faster to fill up that 2TB? All for that? Typical access and write pipeline is wayy smaller for softwares including gaming.
Slow for NVME, but for the price a lot of storge in a small package. I sort of liken this range of SSDs as the cheap slow 5400rpm HDD drives we used to buy for storage. Buy a faster 500-1TB drive for your OS, this is for storage.
The usable benefit of speeds over even a SATA drive barely makes a difference in most cases including both games and OS/applications, NVME Gen3 to Gen4 would be almost nothing. So I mean Windows might load in 9.9 seconds instead of 10 seconds on a super high end NVME drive but that's pretty pointless I'd think?

To be fair, while there is negligible difference between boot times for windows, several game load times for NVME around 10% faster on several newer games. That said, I think speed should be taken less to consideration compared to larger TBW, heat generated, and power consumed, and of course price when choosing your SSD.
