Hi!
I don't know exactly what are the différences between these two SSD's.
Yes, I know the connectors are different, but what about the performances?
Thanks!

Even i don't know what Endlesspath meant when he stated that. U.2 interface is used on enterprise level (in servers) to connect 2.5" and 3.5" SSDs. While similar to consumer M.2 connector, it has it's differences. Since only U.2 SSD currently available for consumers is Intel 750 series, there's not much use for U.2 connector for consumers at current date. While there are a plethora of SSDs for consumers that use M.2 connector.

And here's also a performance comparison between Intel 750 (U.2, 400GB) and Samsung 960 Pro (M.2, 512GB),
