The drive is engineered with Micron 3D NAND technology, resulting in an endurance rating of up to 220 TB total bytes written by leveraging larger NAND cells to deliver top-notch performance and prolong endurance.

Differently sized SSDs have different performance... generally - but not always - bigger is faster.
I have little hope that it's gonna make a difference though; the only redeeming point would be a very aggressive price

I hope they'll perform better than MX300 750, that thing is utter crap, often beaten by MX100/200 (and of course 850 EVO)
