NAND: CT4000T500SSD3 lists TLC; SNV3S/4000G lists 3D (cell type not specified).
Endurance (TBW): CT4000T500SSD3 lists 2400; SNV3S/4000G lists 1280.
Sequential read (up to MB/s): CT4000T500SSD3 lists 7000; SNV3S/4000G lists 6000.
Manufacturer limited warranty: CT4000T500SSD3 lists 5 years or TBW limit, whichever comes first; SNV3S/4000G lists 5 years or Percentage Used reaches 100%, whichever comes first.
Sequential write (up to MB/s): CT4000T500SSD3 lists 6900; SNV3S/4000G lists 5000.

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.
