Should I get an M.2? I only have an SSHD and a HDD.

If your PC supports M.2, I'd certainly go for that for a main boot drive.  I've built and upgraded a number of the computers for work, and the ones with M.2 drives are noticeably faster than the ones with SATA SSDs even when the rest of the system specs are the same.

It depend what you are going to use the PC for.

What do you usually do on your pc?

If you'd like faster boot times,
If you'd like faster loading times in any games you play,
If you'd like an overall snappier feel to your system

Yes.

This all depends on if your system supports M.2, mind you.

Then you should go for an M.2 drive.As it is even faster than even the most expensive and top tier hdd.It will surely make your work a lot smoother and faster.

Altogether it would be 40 gb.

Yes, you should absolutely get an SSD. However depending on what size you're looking at an NVME drive (I assume that's what you meant by m.2; m.2 is merely a connector, so it can be both SATA and NVME) might not make much sense. Smaller drives don't see nearly the performance of larger ones.

 

Also, budget comes into play. If you can only afford a small NVME drive, but can get a larger SATA, I'd just go with the SATA drive.

If the PC already has a place for a M.2 Absolutely.
