Which SSD should I get?

Shohel

I am looking to get a SSD for my system. The main use case will be next gen gaming. Now I am basically on the fence  between these 2.
1. Samsung 980 500GB ( No DRAM HBM supported, Samsung Pablo Controller, Read Speed (Max.):3100MB/s, Write Speed (Max.) : 2600MB/s, Random Read IOPS : 400000 IOPS. Random Write IOPS  470000 IOPS)
2. Transcend 220S 512GB M.2 2280 PCIe SSD ( it has DRAM, SMI SM2262EN controller, Read Speed (Max.) :3500MB/s, Write Speed (Max.) 2800MB/s, Random Read IOPS Up to 210,000,Random Write IOPS Up to 310,000)
Now, I know DRAM is a huge deal. But samsung is getting much better IOPS than Transcend without the DRAM and almost the same speed with better price.
so anyone using any of them please let me know which will be the better option. Thanks

Pc specs: R5 3600X

16GB 2400MHZ RAM

RTX 3050

(And no, My mother board does not support PCIe Gen 4 or higher speed RAM)

SSDs are so fast you'll not likely be able to determine the difference between the two. Personally, I'd go with the one that costs less money
