Which SSD is better: DRAM or volume?

I chose two SSDs, but I can not decide which one to take. The first option is 256gb with DRAM, the second is 480gb without DRAM.
As far as I understand, this "DRAM" is a really important thing, however, the more the disk is filled (and it will be filled by + -150-200 GB), the further it goes from the nominal write / read speed.
I also want to note that the disk will be used as the only one in the system (under the OS, programs and data).

For an ordinary user who does not have high-speed database tasks (for example), all these dram chips are not needed, you will not see a difference in 99.999% of tasks, there will be a maximum difference in synthetic tests.
dram in ssd is a non-volatile cache, whose resource does not run out, for example - there is a task of constantly and quickly updating data (a small amount of them and a keyword - changing the same area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe disk, i.e. the same file in most file systems ) with a guarantee that the data will not be lost when the computer is turned off, then such a disk is ideal
in a regular ssd, there is no cache, or there is but based on another ssd memory (more expensive), which means that such a task can literally kill the disk in a fairly short period of time, while the main recording limit will not be reached.
so choose a bigger one
