What differs between these models?
- NAND: SNV3S/4000G lists 3D (cell type not specified); WDS400T2XHE lists TLC 3D NAND.
- Heatsink: SNV3S/4000G lists Not included; WDS400T2XHE lists Included.
- Endurance (TBW): SNV3S/4000G lists 1280; WDS400T2XHE lists 2400.
- Sequential read (up to MB/s): SNV3S/4000G lists 6000; WDS400T2XHE lists 7300.
- Manufacturer limited warranty: SNV3S/4000G lists 5 years or Percentage Used reaches 100%, whichever comes first; WDS400T2XHE lists 5 years or TBW limit, whichever comes first.
- Sequential write (up to MB/s): SNV3S/4000G lists 5000; WDS400T2XHE lists 6600.
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.
