About this Item:
- Get into the game fast as you zoom past load times with blazing speeds of up to 5,150MB/s* (1TB and 2TB models). Based on read speed. 1 MB/s = 1 million bytes per second. Based on internal testing; performance may vary depending upon host device, usage conditions, drive capacity, and other factors.
- Equipped with a PCIe Gen4 interface, the WD_BLACK SN770 NVMe SSD helps fuel in-game responsiveness, minimize stutter, and provide smooth streaming for a performance boost you can see and feel. PCIe Gen4 storage technology requires a compatible motherboard. WD_BLACK SN770 is backwards-compatible with PCIe Gen3.
- Get tons of space for your latest games, future updates, and downloadable content with capacities up to 2TB. 1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = one trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment.
- Equipped with advanced thermal management technology that helps maintain consistent performance, this reliable drive comes in an M.2 SSD form factor for compatibility with modern motherboards and laptops.

Dramless SSDs are just fine for the intended purpose. Having no DRAM means less complex pcb, smaller/simpler flash controller, lower power draw (especially in idle) and overall lower cost (most noticebly on smaller capacities).
Obviously having no dram kills some performance (random writes especially) and consistency, so where performance is critical, you're not gonna use such a drive.
As for durability/endurance of such drive; it highly depends on the workload. Having no dram does not inherently mean less endurance (dram is only meant for mapping tables, not for write caching or something similar) so mapping tables on the actual flash have to be updated regularly anyway, regardless if drive has dram or not. If drive has lots of random write workload, having dram does speed up things and some flash translation layer updates can be cached to the dram and flushed back to flash at a delay (less updates to the actual flash).
Less endurance for dramless drives get thrown around a lot, but the bigger factor here is not the lack of dram itself, but just the fact, that such drives are usually lower cost, which means lower bins of flash are used and simpler controllers don't do as good of a job with ECC. This results in lower rated endurance.
Honestly, if implemented correctly, dramless drives are prefectly fine and shouldn't be disregarded.
