One with DRAM will perform better because it can store the most frequently used assets in the DRAM. Anecdotally, ones installed internally but without DRAM may have issues with clip-in and freezing while the assets are read:

A USB 3.1 port with a proper 10Gbps adapter or enclosure will actually provide more bandwidth than the internal SATA connection (1250MBps vs 750MBps, theoretical), but both exceed the speeds that this type of SSD can achieve. This choice is more important on the launch and slim PS4 consoles since they only have SATA2 connectors (300MBps).
For my PS4 slim, I used a SABRENT 10Gbps adapter cable (~$15) and put my drive into an enclosure of a drive that failed.

The EX2 is a better drive at $44, but then that's now 670p money.
