Confused

Hey so I was watching an LTT video earlier today (one about the £1500 PCs maybe I cant remember) and he briefly mentioned that the SSD had a SATA connected rather than an M.2 which apparently means that it's no faster than a standard HDD. This was the first time I've heard this and I just wanted to check if I understood it right. Nobody else (Bitwit etc) has mentioned it so I guess I'm understanding it wrong - highly possible, I've only got into this because I'm replacing my Xbox with a PC over the holidays and because of the research I've done in chrome my YouTube recommended section is full of LTT videos lol

No faster than a standard SSD via SATA, Still faster than HDD. The PCIe x4 bandwidth is not available to this SSD.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

yeah, that's not how it works. a nvme ssd is faster than a ssd on sata, but not aoways noticeable in daily workloads. but the difference between sata ssds and hdds are there. 

 

btw, m.2 is only a form factor

Told you I was a noob lmao. Thanks for the help though
