NAND: CT1000T500SSD8 lists TLC; SHPP41-1000GM-2 lists 176-layer 3D TLC.
Endurance (TBW): CT1000T500SSD8 lists 600; SHPP41-1000GM-2 lists 750.
Sequential read (up to MB/s): CT1000T500SSD8 lists 7300; SHPP41-1000GM-2 lists 7000.
Manufacturer limited warranty: CT1000T500SSD8 lists 5 years or TBW limit, whichever comes first; SHPP41-1000GM-2 lists 5 years, subject to manufacturer terms.
Sequential write (up to MB/s): CT1000T500SSD8 lists 6800; SHPP41-1000GM-2 lists 6500.

A larger cache, higher RPM or higher advertised sequential speed alone does not establish which drive is better for your workload.

Compatibility and buying checks

Sequential speeds are manufacturer maxima, not measured game load times. Check your PCIe generation, M.2 dimensions and cooling clearance. The lower of the time or endurance limit normally governs a limited SSD warranty.
Compare new and renewed offers separately. The manufacturer specification does not guarantee the warranty or return policy of a marketplace seller.
