How these two compare
Sequential throughput
TeamGroup MP44L 2TB is rated 5000 MB/s read and 4500 MB/s write; Western Digital WD Green SN3000 2TB, 5000 MB/s read and 4200 MB/s write. These are peak sequential rates over PCIe — the speed you would see copying one large file. For boot, app launches and everyday feel, random access matters more than this headline figure.
Price
TeamGroup MP44L 2TB lists at $323.27, or $161.64 per TB; Western Digital WD Green SN3000 2TB at $390.00, or $195.00 per TB.
DRAM cache
TeamGroup MP44L 2TB is DRAM-less; the catalog does not state whether Western Digital WD Green SN3000 2TB carries a DRAM cache. A DRAM cache holds the drive's mapping table — the index of where each block physically sits — so the controller places and finds data without an extra flash lookup. A DRAM-less drive borrows a little system memory (HMB) or a slice of its own flash instead, and is likelier to slow once a long run of random writes outlasts its fast cache.
NAND and warranty
NAND: TeamGroup MP44L 2TB uses TLC and Western Digital WD Green SN3000 2TB uses QLC. The tier is bits per cell — SLC, MLC, TLC and QLC from one to four — trading density against endurance and sustained-write speed: QLC is cheapest per gigabyte, TLC the mainstream balance, and the denser the cell the sooner sustained writes taper. On the cover: TeamGroup MP44L 2TB does not state one, Western Digital WD Green SN3000 2TB carries a 3-year warranty. The length is the maker's own vote of confidence, and on an SSD it tends to track the endurance rating — a longer warranty usually meaning more rated writes.
