SATA SSD vs M.2

[vFaded]

I am a first time builder and know some stuff about SSD's but I am very unknowing on the new components. So essentially a M.2 NVME will serve the same purpose as an SSD (fast means of storage?) while being much smaller and taking a PCIE slot on the motherboard? For a high end gaming oriented PC what would be the most desirable setup between m.2,ssd, hdd. I am assuming M.2 drive for OS and games and everything else on a SSD

Very few games take advantage of NVMe speeds. Your OS will load faster and feel snappier, though.

 

Personally, I would get a SATA M.2 or 2.5" SSD for your OS and some other applications, and then get an HDD of a 2-3TB flavor for bulk storage/more games.

Thanks for the information!

Yep what a crunchy dragon said

imo SATA SSD is better until you can afford 500GB or higher NVMe SSDs. If you can only have 250GB NVMe SSD, then I might as well get 500GB SSD and get more stuff run fast.
