SATA SSD vs PCIe SSD - What's the difference? A quick hardware episode today because every now and then I was puzzled about how to identify if an SSD is a SATA drive or if it

2 SATA SSDs have two U-shaped cutouts, or “keys”, near the edges, also known as the “M” and “B” keys Most NVMe SSDs, on the other hand,

m2 sata slot 2 drives SATA and NVMe drives both adhere to the NGFF standard, so in terms of physical compatibility, they share the same form factor

2 drives are “keyed” at one end so as to prevent the end-user from inserting them in an incompatible socket PCIe NVMe drives are 'M' keyed SATA ones,

m2 slot No NVMe runs on the PCIe bus while SATA runs on the SATA bus The keying on NVMe and SATA drives is different, so you can't stick

SATA and SSDs are considered much more affordable options compared to the other NVMe drives However, there is always a need to consider performance upgrades
