it doesn't really matter. It's not the fastest but more than fast enough.

They weren't clear with their statement. This doesn't have DRAM where the expired Intel deal does. DRAM is used for caching and makes the drive faster, while potentially also reducing read/write cycles which can extend the life of the drive. So a drive with DRAM is better than one without, all other things being equal. it also tends to be a little more expensive with DRAM because it obviously has more components.

Isn't this too slow to play games from it, or it does not matter that much?

Unless you want portability, if you install in mobo in raid0, you'd theoretically get ~2x the r/w speeds.

50bucjs for 2TB would be the newest low! But hey, Walmart need to unload their stocks.

Love that a drive that is up to 5 x faster than most SATA drives(even SSD) and were thinking it's too slow for games? I still use a SSHD for most of mine without any issues.

There's nothing wrong with DRAM, it's actually preferable to have it especially on the cheaper drives.
