NAND: SNV3S/500G lists 3D (cell type not specified); SHPP41-500GM-2 lists 176-layer 3D TLC.
Endurance (TBW): SNV3S/500G lists 160; SHPP41-500GM-2 lists 500.
Sequential read (up to MB/s): SNV3S/500G lists 5000; SHPP41-500GM-2 lists 7000.
Manufacturer limited warranty: SNV3S/500G lists 5 years or Percentage Used reaches 100%, whichever comes first; SHPP41-500GM-2 lists 5 years, subject to manufacturer terms.
Sequential write (up to MB/s): SNV3S/500G lists 3000; SHPP41-500GM-2 lists 4700.

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.
