Interface: MZ-V8P250 lists PCIe 4.0 x4 / NVMe 1.3c; MZ-V8V250 lists PCIe 3.0 x4 / NVMe.
Sequential read (up to MB/s): MZ-V8P250 lists 6400; MZ-V8V250 lists 2900.
Sequential write (up to MB/s): MZ-V8P250 lists 2700; MZ-V8V250 lists 1300.

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.
