Depending on the model. Aren't they pretty much the same?

Which is faster?

 

M.2 SATA SSDs are essentially, well... SATA drives with a different connector, meaning that they won't be faster than any other SATA drive.

 

M.2 PCI-E SSDs are speed demons that will eat SATA drives for breakfast, but you're not going to notice that performance in real world use scenarios, unless you REALLY need that bandwidth.

M.2 is just a physical socket shape. SSDs that fit into M.2 sockets can be PCIe SSDs in which case they'll be same as any other PCIe SSD or they can be SATA SSDs, in which case they'll be like any other SATA SSD.
