What differs between these models?
- Endurance (TBW): SNV3S/2000G lists 640; LNM790X002T-RNNNU lists 1500.
- Sequential read (up to MB/s): SNV3S/2000G lists 6000; LNM790X002T-RNNNU lists 7400.
- Manufacturer limited warranty: SNV3S/2000G lists 5 years or Percentage Used reaches 100%, whichever comes first; LNM790X002T-RNNNU lists 5 years, subject to manufacturer terms.
- Sequential write (up to MB/s): SNV3S/2000G lists 5000; LNM790X002T-RNNNU 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.
