How these two compare
Sequential throughput
SanDisk SSD Plus 1TB reads at 545 MB/s and writes at 515 MB/s; Timetec Premium M.2 SATA SSD 1TB reads at 550 MB/s and writes at 500 MB/s. Both ride the SATA bus, which caps sequential transfer near 550 MB/s in either direction — the ceiling every SATA drive works against — so what more decisively separates them is sustained and random behaviour, the DRAM cache, and endurance.
Price
SanDisk SSD Plus 1TB is 154,90 € (154,90 € per TB); Timetec Premium M.2 SATA SSD 1TB is 139,99 € (139,99 € per TB).
DRAM cache
On the cache question: the catalog does not state whether SanDisk SSD Plus 1TB carries a DRAM cache, and Timetec Premium M.2 SATA SSD 1TB is DRAM-less. The DRAM keeps the flash-translation table close, sparing a lookup on nearly every access; a drive without it leans on host memory or its own flash, which usually shows as slower sustained random writes rather than in the headline sequential numbers.
NAND and warranty
On the flash itself: SanDisk SSD Plus 1TB's NAND is not stated, and Timetec Premium M.2 SATA SSD 1TB 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. SanDisk SSD Plus 1TB does not state one and Timetec Premium M.2 SATA SSD 1TB carries a 3-year warranty — the length the maker will stand behind the drive, and usually a proxy for the endurance it is rated to.
Which to buy
It comes down to which you value more: SanDisk SSD Plus 1TB and Timetec Premium M.2 SATA SSD 1TB each lead the other somewhere the site tracks, and no single measure settles it. Read the sections above for which edge fits your use.
