Interchanging M.2 & U.2 NVMe Solution

The M.2 NVMe SSD originally started as an M.2 SATA SSD, which is used to describe the smallest form factor of an SSD that can be packed into the size of a gum stick. The reason why M.2 SSDs have become more favorable in recent times in taking over SATA SSDs is due to the simple installation and cableless drive. Typically, SATA SSDs provide a transfer speed of up to 6Gb/s, meanwhile the NVMe drives offer up to 64Gb/s. The M.2 NVMe drives are much quicker due to them utilizing flash memory modules which allows quick start-ups, reliability, and increased performance.
