How these two compare
Sequential throughput
PNY CS2130 1TB is rated 2100 MB/s read and 1700 MB/s write; TeamGroup MP33 1TB, 2100 MB/s read and 1700 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.
NAND
NAND: PNY CS2130 1TB uses TLC and TeamGroup MP33 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.
