Can anyone explain difference between WD Blue PC SSD and WD BLUE 3D NAND?

I'm looking to buying an ssd for my ps4 but I do not understand the difference between these two models that WD provide?

WD BLUE 3D NAND SATA SSD

Do they have specific needs as in you should use one only if you plan to use with pc etc. Any difference in performance I will notice when choosing between the two?

Different generations of the same product line. 3D Nand is latest.
They are all SATA, so performance will be limited by SATA interface.

So in other words get the 3d nand as it is the latest ssd?

I'd probably go for Samsung 850/860 evo instead.

If you're fitting it on the ps4 internally then seriously buy the cheapest reliable sata 3 ssd you can source.

The ps4 will not make full use of the speeds on higher end or more expensive sata drives.
