That's incorrect, as this uses TLC. The P1 is the model that uses QLC.

The general user and even gamers won't even notice it is d-ramless. Power users transferring a lot of big files often maybe. Pretty solid drive.

You don't need DRAM as games are more CPU and GPU intensive and spend more time reading data off the drive than writing to it. So you should be fine using this.

Using docker? If so, go dram for those /config folders (especially Plex). Otherwise, if your cache is solely for mover later to array, this is fine.

No DRAM on this one.
I'd spring for $10 more and get one with DRAM.
They also have M2 to SATA adapters if you're fed up with SATA drives but don't have an M2 slot yet.

Excuse my ignorance on the topic, but I thought that DRAM would also be preferable if the drive was a boot drive? I am not sure if the reasoning is on the basis of performance or longevity, though..

I'm nowhere near an EE expert but I don't think devices like memory chips pass or fail in an analog way. That is they either pass/fail like say a diode, they'll either conduct or not.

This is a crap Newegg promoted deal compared to Crucial MX series, especially when NAND/SSD prices have been falling. The cheaper ones are sold at this price before the better ones fall to this price.
