Is a ssd with a higher iops read and write and a lower read and write megabytes faster then one with higher read and write iops and and higher read and write megabytes?

Sorry I am trying to understand. I want to buy a new one soon. And I notice that one of Samsung's ssd had a read and write iops of 100,000 / 90,000. A read and write of 540 mbs / 520 mbs. I also was looking at Intel's ssd's. There's had a 41,000 / 80,000 iops. And read and write 540 mbs / 490 mbs. So which one is faster? And better? longer lasting?

Thank you for any help.

The Samsung will probably be faster but only by a hair. Nothing HUGE. Go with Samsung because I mean, you can't really go wrong there.

Samsung and Intel both make great SSDs. You can't go wrong with either...
