How these two compare
Sequential throughput
Patriot P320 512GB states 3000 MB/s read and 2600 MB/s write; TeamGroup MP33 512GB states 2100 MB/s read and 1700 MB/s write, both over PCIe. Sequential numbers like these describe large sustained transfers; the responsiveness you notice day to day tracks random access more closely than the peak figures do.
Price
Patriot P320 512GB is $117.99 ($230.45 per TB); TeamGroup MP33 512GB is $123.99 ($242.17 per TB).
NAND
On the flash itself: Patriot P320 512GB uses TLC, and TeamGroup MP33 512GB uses TLC. NAND tiers count bits per cell — more bits pack more capacity into the same silicon but shorten write endurance and slow sustained writes, which is why QLC sits below TLC on lasting performance even when the sequential numbers match.
Which to buy
Against the other, Patriot P320 512GB is even or ahead on every tracked measure and behind on none, which is the one case where the choice needs no compromise.
