Well one is a standard 2.5inch SATA speed drive the other is a M.2 NVMe PCIe speed drive.

The M.2 NVMe drive is faster but if this is a general use or even gaming computer due to how random reads/writes are both will behave pretty close in performance. If you do large file editing such a videos, sound or even pictures then the NVMe would probably be a better investment.

Just be sure your motheboard supports M.2 PCIe drives, some M.2 are just SATA speed and will not work with it.
