It isn't really related to the SN750 at all, despite the name.
They tested the 250GB model which has lower specs vs the 1TB version.
Capacity 250 GB
Sequential Read 3200 MB/s
Sequential Write 1000 MB/s
Random Read IOPS 190k
Random Write IOPS 240k
Capacity 1 TB
Sequential Read 3600 MB/s
Sequential Write 2830 MB/s
Random Read IOPS 525k
Random Write IOPS 640k
"essentially, HMB uses a PC's system RAM for caching to boost performance. The PS5 doesn't support HMB, and there are warnings of performance degradation if you use one of these drives within the console"
But, It looks like it does work in the PS5. At worst, it is extra internal storage that you can store less demanding games on.
"despite the SN750 SE failing to match key criteria, I could find very little wrong with it once installed into my PlayStation 5"

Is this the drive Digital Foundry tested on the PS5 and found almost no difference in load times vs internal?

-----Edit: Make sure that the heat sink you buy isn't too tall/thick. I forget what the max thickness is, you'll have to look that up.
-----Edit_2: I found this info on ssd size specs for the PS5 in Eurogamer article....
"The most onerous requirement is that your PS5 SSD needs to have a heatsink or some other cooling apparatus, which needs to fit inside the shallow slot Sony has provided for internal expansion. The combined drive and heatsink need to be 11.25mm (0.442") or shorter, which rules out some drives that come with non-removable heatsinks that are taller than this. There are even specific requirements about where that height can be - there's 2.45mm of space below the SSD for the heatsink and 8 millimetres above, so heatsinks with thick bottoms (!) may not work even if their total height is within spec."
-----At the end they give links to heatsinks that fit, they're 4mm thick/tall.
