Where I live, DRAM-less SSDs are a lot cheaper (half the price). Most sources online say “go for an SSD with DRAM. But I wonder, are cases in which a DRAM-less SSD will do just fine?

My main focus is resurrecting old laptops (from 2006 to 2015), installing GNU/Linux and an sometimes investing in an SSD will give them a performance boost, but the budget is limited because I can’t sella uch an old laptop at a non very budgety price.

      As long as it doesn’t get very full, like 90%+ there will be 0 difference in your case.
