It's worth pointing out that sometimes drive failure is what causes Windows to lock up.
That said, it's a statistically insignificant scenario not worth worrying about for most use cases. When it is a valid concern, if better hardware and software isn't being used, that's the fault of the system design and implementation, not the low level, consumer grade, DRAM-less storage device.

I wouldn't. P44 Pro and P41 Platinum have some kind of firmware bug that causes the sequential write cache to permanently fill up from use, causing it to eventually skip it entirely. Currently the only fix is a factory reset.
If you're okay factory resetting it occasionally, then go for it. But it seems too fiddly to me.

if you buy from Samsung via EPP
the 970evo plus was goat on pcie3 and now we have to pay premium for dram?

If your running a RAID and can live with a SATA 500mb/s why not a bunch of enterprise used SSD though, $60 a TB on fleabay for intel D3-xxxx for instance.

A truly scummy move will be initially offering it with DRAM and then removing it in future revisions without changing the model name. Multiple manufacturers have changed controllers to inferior versions than initial release without changing the model name or specs. Samsung is one of the few that I'm aware of that hasn't done this.
