Interface: SNV3S/1000G lists PCIe 4.0 x4 / NVMe; MZ-V7S1T0 lists PCIe 3.0 x4 / NVMe.
Endurance (TBW): SNV3S/1000G lists 320; MZ-V7S1T0 lists 600.
Sequential read (up to MB/s): SNV3S/1000G lists 6000; MZ-V7S1T0 lists 3500.
Manufacturer limited warranty: SNV3S/1000G lists 5 years or Percentage Used reaches 100%, whichever comes first; MZ-V7S1T0 lists 5 years or TBW limit, whichever comes first.

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.
