Give me valid reasons for why I shouldn't use an mSATA

m.2 pci-e

>>61045928
This. Just get NVME, faggatron.

>>61045928
>>61045941

As someone who's completely inept with hardware, what does that mean?

>>61045981
PCI hard drive implemented over the m.2 interface. More pricey than a m.2 SATA SSD, but the difference in speed is noticeable.

I still don't get it. Sorry. I'm here trying to figure out what SSD and HDD to get. I want an SSD for my OS + one game (very modded game), and a HDD for all other stuffs.

SSD can be either 240 or 256 GB, no matter there.

>>61045911
Due to less amount of NAND modules it wears quicker. Plus miniaturization costs more, and it's pointless in bigass desktop computers anyway.

>>61046092
Get cheapest MLC SSD that will be unused in 30% (this is the amount of space that should be always free). You clearly have no requirements for the transfer speed and other shit like that, so don't bother with PCIe drives. You won't get any benefit from it.

>>61045911
this may come as a shock to you op but we don't give a fuck about your hw choices

totally not sage-ing this, I swear

>>61046092
SATA is a normal hard drive data lane, it tops out at 6Gbits/s
NVME is a much faster connection, it requires PCIe data lanes instead of SATA, your average M2 PCIe x4 slot tops out at 32Gbits/s (the fastest NVME drives top out before that though)
You could get tripled speeds by spending double the cash on a NVME drive, but SATA is good too and will still be fast

>>61045981
SSDs can work at higher speeds than SATA interface can provide: 6.0Gb/s.

It's better to connect an SSD over a faster interface, m.2 is a modern connector which allows to use either SATA or PCI-e interfaces.

Oh yeah I don't want to go overboard with my budget. My new SSD/HDD budget is max 280€ Maybe 300 if I can find some really good stuff. I'm not super prissy with transfer speeds, 32gb is a vast improvement but I'm fine with 6gb just as well. My current HDD is near 10 years old and showing its age.

>>61046235
You don't need PCIe drives. Get normal SATA 2,5" SSD.

>>61046273
Alright, cool beans. Thank you /g/.

>>61046273
Triple speed boost isn't a joke.

>>61046380
worse. it's a meme

>>61045928
>>61045941
This shit isn't backwards compatible you faggots
I can't make M.2 ports appear where there isn't one
OP probably has a Sandy Bridge or Ivy bridge thinkpad
