Input/Output Operations Per Second, shows how many operations can that storage device carry out in one second. It does not influence when moving one big file, but when dealing with many small files, this will come into account a lot. HDDs usually have this in the range of 50 to 100, SATA SSDs have it up to 100k and M.2 NVMe drives have it even bigger, that depends on the device itself.

Thnx for your answer :)

I want the m.2 versions of one of the drives because they cost the same in my country and I don't have to deal with 2 extra cables. And maybe in the future ad another m.2 drive and make a raid ( because my mobo supports 2 m.2drives)

RAID isn't really worth it, but if they're the same price then sure, why not.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
