Keep in mind endurance does not correlate to reliability. It is endurance and endurance only which is qualified by the TBW number. Below that number, this drive and a drive with 1600TBW are not going to offer different reliability statistics or promises.
TBW: 800TB

Mlc is the common one. Endurance isn't an issue if your not running a data center
But, when QLC dies because of endurance which is very very unlikely, just buy a new one.
I also still don't understand when or why you'd want dram over not but does dram matter if it's going to strictly be used to download and play games off of? Thank you!

nonetheless if the data is important then it needs regular backups

Solidigm 2TB P41 Plus Read/Write is slower, but 800Tb Endurance (Total Bytes Written) $100
Crucial 2TB P3 Plus Faster but 400Tb Endurance (Total Bytes Written) $135
WD 2TB WD_Black SN770 Fastest and 1200Tb Endurance (Total Bytes Written) $135
NO reason to buy Crucial...
Thanks OP, in for one!

It matters mainly for random reads/writes because it can act as a cache for small files and it caches the internal storage table which the drive uses to determine which data is on which part of which NAND chip. Data is typically spread over the different NAND chips to optimize reading and writing speeds by multi threading the operation on both ends so the drive has to keep track of where data is upon writing to the drive and on the other end retrieve that mapping information before it can start the read operation. Host Memory Buffer (HMB) is a standard for gen 3 and gen 4 DRAMless drives that allows them to use a small amount of your system RAM (less than 128mb typically) to hold the mapping information and increase the random read/write speeds. It won't be as fast as the drive being able to read the mapping from built in memory, but it's plenty fast for normal usage. HMB also cannot act as a file cache for reading/writing files but that's not a big difference anyways. Typically the OS itself uses RAM to cache reads and writes from your disks. NVME drives using their internal RAM to again cache the read and writes is just another layer of caching so not having that is really not a meaningful difference.

Over the years, I've seen NAND data retention spec'd between1 and 10 years. Anybody know how long your data is good (on average) without being regularly accessed?
