MZ-KKW1T00/0A6 1TB SSPOLARIS PCI 655-1995C
or
Hynix HFS001TDE9X0732 Gold P31 SHGP31-1000GM-2?

One of them should go into a laptop like this one:
—or, in plain words, into a "MacBook Pro Retina mid-2014 15-inch 2.8GHz with discrete graphics"—with the difference that it has only a 256GB SSD.

I suppose that a SSD upgrade would be useful.
I have read the wiki-post, I have seen the tabulated results, I have been thinking about it for a few days, but I still do not know which one would be better.

The first one is dealt with here in the manner that it is good but expensive and hard to get new, etc. But what if price is not a concern, i.e. if both can be obtained new and roughly at the same price?

As for the performance, I believe that they ought to be roughly the same, both throttled by the PCIe 2.0 interface.

Both seem to utilize charge trapping technology in a vertically stacked design; however,

the Samsung part (the first one) has:
MLC (2-level) NAND chips—so its endurance ought to be better,
but has a higher power consumption—one of the highest in the survey;

whereas

the Hynix part (the second one) has:
TLC (3-level) NAND chips—so its endurance ought to be worse,
but has a lower power consumption—its power efficiency has been lauded in reviews.

Also: the first one is an Apple original part, whereas the second one should be a compatible replacement with a Sintech-like adapter, but what is the significance—if any—of having an Apple original part versus a replacement?
