The PCIe drive will be about 2 to 3 times faster than the regular m.2 drive.

They're both m.2, but one's m.2 SATA, other's m.2 PCIe

 

What motherboard are you mounting it in? Some connectors can change with m.2

lol it was a joke, i was being literal

 

But yea as they say, the PCIe is much faster and sometimes more expensive than their counterparts. but unlike the second one it does not share bandwidth with the SATA ports, meaning you can populate all the SATA ports and still have that extra one.

but if u populate all your SATA ports, and you use an M.2 SATA drive it'll be MUCH slow.
