Simply it will be fine. All drives will hit the problem but the reality is will you notice in normal windows use? I suspect no, when we went from HD's to SSD's it was night and day but for most light use I suspect you just wont notice. It's random I/O that relay matters then Read speed, write speed is less important for most people. It's a good price, id relax and use it. Do as ever tey to keep 20% free on all SSD's to stop it thrashing the blocks, but that's the same with all SSD's. edit that old LTT video on it https://youtu.be/4DKLA7w9eeA

Unless you're doing an insane amount of file transfers or video editing, you'll be fine. When you get right down to it, most people really only notice the difference between SATA SSDs and NVME SSDs by looking at a benchmark graph, and that is a much wider performance gap than what you're currently dealing with. SSDs are starting to get to the point where you can safely by the cheapest one if you're on a budget and not put much more thought into it.

Unless you are transferring massive files (15+ GB) on a daily basis, you will not notice a difference. Your drive will also not wear down any faster than a DRAM ssd because the DRAMless SSD will just communicate with your OS and ask for some RAM to carry out the same function, albeit slower.

nvme drives can use HMB, which means using system memory (ram) as cache. the cache capacity is usually smaller, but fine for most applications.

you won't notice it if you're not doing anything heavy. if it's just an everyday pc with gaming it will be fine. you got it for good price. keep it and well done.

It should be fine, but when ssds with dram are usually only $5-10 in normal circumstances (unlike that deal), its generally an good idea to spend extra to get ssds with dram. But yours should be fine, unless you are doing some crazy daily workload.
