I'm considering getting the Kingston A400 SATA SSD for my setup, but I've noticed it's DRAMless and HMBl-less. Does this impact its performance for everyday use? I'm looking to combine an HDD and SSD to move my operating system off the HDD, but I'm wondering if the A400 will be a significant upgrade or not.

A DRAMless SATA SSD can indeed be slower than a traditional HDD. It generally won't offer the same speed benefits you'd expect from a standard SSD, especially when booting your OS.
How much slower are we talking? Is it noticeable in daily tasks? I'm not a pro, just trying to make a budget build work.
