Interface: MZ-VAP8T0 lists PCIe 5.0 x4 / NVMe 2.0; WDS800T2X0E lists PCIe 4.0 x4 / NVMe.
Sequential read (up to MB/s): MZ-VAP8T0 lists 14800; WDS800T2X0E lists 7200.
Sequential write (up to MB/s): MZ-VAP8T0 lists 13400; WDS800T2X0E 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.
