Everybody seems to be getting excited about the nvme interface SSDs on M2 connectors.

m.2 is a HUGE amount faster, and is the future.

Don't know WHERE you heard that Sata 3.2 is 16 MBPS, but that's simply
bull****.

Wikipedia. Bit-tech.net Techreport.com Anywhere really.

And m.2 on PCIE x4 is WAY faster than SATA of any kind.

It's 32GBits/s, so only twice as fast as SATA 3.2
And I don't think SSDs internally go faster than 16 yet anyway.

Just looked up a Samsung 960 Pro SSD, which is a lot faster. Crucial don't seem to do nvme, and I've always used Crucial for reliability after having 50% of OCZ drives fail. But there's no reason they can't use SATA 3.2 for fast SSDs.

Blisteringly expensive aswell as blisteringly fast though. 500GB Samsung nvme SSD is £250, the Crucial SATA3 SSD is only £100. I think I'd rather have more SSD capacity (instead of hard disk) than spend that money speeding up the already fast SSD.
