This SSD transfers data using PCI-Express, which leaves traditional SATA SSDs far behind in terms of transfer rates. M.2 SSDs are installed via the M.2 socket on the motherboard. Due to their compact dimensions, they are particularly suitable for use in ultrabooks and mini-PCs, but can also be used in regular computers. This SSD shines in systems with NVMe support. Users benefit from high throughput, high IOPS, and low latency. Unlike the older AHCI protocol, which was developed for traditional spinning drives, NVMe prevents performance drops, offers faster transfer of large data volumes, increased boot speeds, and improved system responsiveness.
