Overview of M.2 SSDs

M.2 is a new form of connectivity that allows a SSD to connect directly to the PCI-E bus allowing for theoretical speeds as high as 2GB/s. However, M.2 drives are complicated in that they allow for a variety of physical dimensions, connectors, and even multiple logical interfaces. To help our customers understand the nuances of M.2 drives, we decided to publish this overview of M.2 SSDs.

Though the Teamgroup MP44L is a lower-tier PCIe 4 performer on benchmarks, real-world speed is fine and there's no arguing the low price.
