M.2 SSD

[Janezzz]

I asked on the forum what would be my best upgrade for 100-150 dollars and they said an SSD.

So I looked up some SSD's in my local computer shop and want to know what does M.2 have over traditional sata 3 SSD's.

I found a intel 530 series 80 GB M.2 SSD.

Is it any good?

Do you have a motherboard that supports m.2? Do you need the speed m.2 provides? 80gb is far too small, just get a regular sata ssd if you don't want to spend a lot. You can get a 500gb ssd for $160-180

Better to get a Sata 3, its cheaper, and probably you dont need the speed of the M.2

Meh ill just get sata 3 SSD.

Thank you for your answer
