I have two suggestions: 1) follow the two URLs you provided and read 
carefully - there is little difference between the two advertised read 
speeds and 2) note that MB and Mb are different by a factor of eight as 
are GB and Gb.

Confusion between the latter two has many proud computer scientist 
bragging about their Gigabyte LAN; it's really Gigabit and that's quite 
different.
