440tbw - if you want to keep the drive for 10 years, you'll have to write (not read, write) 44tb per year (that's writing/deleting the whole drive 22 times a year) for 10 years straight. vast majority of you aren't gonna do that. if you are, you're obviously doing some professional workload where you shouldn't be cheaping out on the drive itself.
DRAM-less - most modern DRAM-less nvme drives leverage HMB (host memory buffer) which borrows system memory in lieu of having DRAM on the drive itself. so you will not lose the functionality of DRAM, and it does not use a significant amount of resources.
DRAM-less drives aren't necessarily just going to croak much faster. most drives have wear-leveling technology to improve longevity.
QLC - it has a better capacity/cost ratio compared to TLC at the expense of performance & longevity. so if you're ok with the performance numbers and TBW, then this is sorta moot.
then there's those talking about the precipitous performance drop after sustained writes - you have to sequentially write half a terabyte at once for the performance to drop. how often are you sequentially writing more than half a TB at once? not only that, the drive will recover most of its cache after a very short period of time (we're talking seconds to minutes). yes the cache will decrease as the drive fills up, but it's still not going to affect the vast majority. if it fills up a reasonable amount, get a second drive.
if your workload requires you to have a better drive where you realistically need something better (professional workloads), then you shouldn't be shopping at the bargain bin. QLC is designed for consumer use, and for consumer use it's perfectly adequate.
stop spreading FUD about specs on a piece of paper that won't apply to the vast majority. if you can find a pcie gen 4.0 2tb TLC drive with DRAM from a reputable brand with high TBW at this price, please feel free to share.

Why do you say that DRAM primarily benefits long sustained writes? I have read multiple articles saying the opposite, that the speed benefit is greater for short random access rather than long sustained access. This seems more logical. For example:

I get them all day long for $15 on wish
I' that a good choice for a boot drive
I am building with 12700k Asus tuf z690 MC BF bundle deal and a 3080ti
I kinda want to keep my boot drive clean, OS only.
I have $10 in BB rewards that expire the 26th
I just got RAM ,I still need a case and power supply and cooler or AIO
And I live very close to a MC.
What would you get out of those from BB to use up the reward cert and what is better to get at MC
I will also use submit a build coupons at MC for the remaining parts.
I am thinking the SSD is the best bet
