It's unlikely to make a meaningful difference.
This is a low end brand. It's nowhere near the same tier as Samsung or Crucial.
The pSLC cache helps write speeds. DRAM stores a copy of the mapping table (FTL). It is most helpful for random reads. That said, it's unlikely to make a meaningful difference to most users.
All that being said, I'm NOT knocking your choice to spend $30 or $50 for a drive you suspect to be more reliable. Your time is valuable, as is the piece of mind that comes with buying equipment that is less likely break. So this isn't an argument for or against this deal. I just wanted to clarify for everyone that when it comes to safeguarding data, it starts with planning and redundancy.

What's your experience with this? I'm thinking of getting it to upgrade my PS5 storage.
I haven't installed it yet. I will do it this weekend in a networking mini computer that I'm using for multiple services. Ubuntu server, pfsense, and frigate.
That bad for gaming?

No. I've had a DRAM-less SSD in my PS5 for a couple years. There is no difference between it and the stock SSD. Zero issues. DRAM is helpful for writing, but it won't affect reading the game.

If it craps out, not a huge deal.
