M.2 vs. NVMe: What is the difference when it comes to SSDs?

What is NVMe?

NVMe or Non-Volatile Memory Express is an industry-standard software interface that enables SSDs and other components to run directly through the PCI Express (PCIe) physical interface directly attached to a computer’s processor. NVMe is an alternative to the older SATA interface that was designed to connect storage devices to computer motherboards. SATA does not have a direct link to the computer’s processor. Many NVMe SSD drives use the M.2 form factor, like the drive pictured below.

What is M.2?

M.2 is a form factor that spells out the physical size and shape of the card that can be plugged into an M.2 slot. This form factor has been designed to maximize space while minimizing the footprint. The M.2 slot is rectangular, with possible widths of 12, 16, 22, or 30 millimeters. Most M.2 solid-state drives are 22 millimeters wide. Lengths can also vary: 16, 26, 30, 38, 42, 60, 80, or 110 millimeters.

Most computer motherboards accommodate a variety of lengths for M.2 slots. At the same time, the width tends to be fixed on each motherboard, usually 22 millimeters wide. The M.2 slots on a motherboard can communicate with the rest of the PC using different interfaces/standards, including PCI Express (used by NVMe) or SATA, used by traditional SSDs.

The conclusion is if you want a better performance reliable speed and good working of your system then you must go with (NVME) as it is easy fast and best for your pc it will help you to get more fps in games as well as the other apps which you run .

The price also differs between them the m.2 SATA SSD is cheap as it give same performance like the normal ssd and price little more than a normal ssd .

NVME is much costly but offers a great speed .

CONCLUSION : You should buy a NVME as you have a good budget .
