SSD ? #2

[xwrench3]

hopefully, this will not go off on such a wild tangent like the last question i had. so here goes, i did some reading about SSD's here,   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive      .   so, in this paragraph,  

 

Apart from associated connectors, the host interface is not physically a component of the SSD, but it is a key part of the drive. The interface is usually incorporated into the above-discussed controller, and is many times one of the interfaces found in HDDs. They include:

• Serial attached SCSI (SAS, 12.0 Gbit/s) – generally found on servers^[80]
• Serial ATA (SATA, 6.0 Gbit/s)^[81]
• PCI Express (PCIe, 31.5 Gbit/s)^[82]
• Fibre Channel (128 Gbit/s) – almost exclusively found on servers
• USB (10 Gbit/s)^[83]
• Parallel ATA (UMDA, 1064 Mbit/s) – mostly replaced by SATA^[84][85]
• (Parallel) SCSI (> 40 Mbit/s) – generally found on servers, mostly replaced by SAS; last SCSI-based SSD was introduced in 2004^[86]

SSDs support various logical device interfaces, such as the original ATAPI, Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), NVM Express(NVMe), and other proprietary interfaces. Logical device interfaces define the command sets used by operating systems to communicate with SSDs and host bus adapters (HBAs).

 

so does this mean that if i installed Windows 10 onto a USB 3.0 (or 3.1) that my computer would boot faster than from a 2.5" SSD drive? that does not make sense to me, so there has to be a reason for it. is there a way to configure the files so they could be read like they would be on a 2.5" SSD drive?

PCI-e (slot and m.2) NVMe should boot the fastest, followed by SATA NVME, followed by SATA ssd and sata m.2(both should be similar), then it should be USB before a physical HDD.....but results will definitely vary

 

I intentionally neglected server hardware since very few people will be using true server grade components

not knowing for certain, i would think that USB architecture and ssd architecture have to be different. or at least the way the data is transfered is. otherwise ssd's would be a lot harder to sell. and USB's would be flying  (ok, this is where the helicopter blade jokes begin, lol). off the shelves.
