Looking for a 1 TB drive for a Mid 2015 Macbook Pro which is the better, faster part? MZ-KPV1T00/ 0A4 or 0A8?

I'm confused by all the different models SSD's.
My MacBook retina 13" (mid 2014) will boot from a USB stick but the SSD (128) is no longer recognized.
Not looking for larger memory necessarily, but just want decent reliability.
I see very few 128 Gb's offered.
Any brand recommendations?
Does it pay off to replace the card interface holder (that seems really cheap) first?
Thanks in advance for input...

So I just purchased a Crucial MX300 525 GB on Amazon...

If I put it in an enclosure, run time machine on it, then install into macbook and recover time machine will I essentially lose 25 gb of storage since my original drive was 500GB?

No you won't. It will only use up however much space is required for your data.

So it won't leave me with a random 25GB partition? Sweet!

No, there will not be a separate 25 GB partition.
