NVMe SSDs
NVMe drives usually use an M.2 slot and PCIe lanes. They can be much faster for large transfers and demanding workloads.
SATA SSDs
SATA SSDs are still much faster than hard drives and can be useful for upgrades, older systems, and extra storage.
Check your slots
Before buying, confirm whether your motherboard or laptop supports the drive type, size, and PCIe generation you want.
