How these two compare

Sequential throughput

Kingston NV2 1TB is rated 3500 MB/s read and 2100 MB/s write; Western Digital WD_BLACK SN750 SE 1TB, 3600 MB/s read and 2900 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.

DRAM cache

Kingston NV2 1TB is DRAM-less; Western Digital WD_BLACK SN750 SE 1TB is DRAM-less. 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

NAND: Kingston NV2 1TB uses TLC and Western Digital WD_BLACK SN750 SE 1TB uses TLC. 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.

Which to buy

With a price missing for at least one side, there is no cost verdict to give. What separates two otherwise-similar drives is up in the sections above — sustained and random behaviour, whether there is a DRAM cache, the flash tier and the warranty — so weigh those against what your build needs.
