Sorry if this has been answered, all my searching leads to nvme vs sata or hdd threads. I am building a new system soon and I see many top motherboards have multiple M.2 sockets. I presume these are via pcie (but I am aware they can be sata). Is there any benefit of using pcie x4 socket over M.2 (nvme)?
Also I watched a few videos and understand there is no difference between regular sata ssd's and nvme when it comes to gaming or even load times. Is this correct? as there are many different opinions out there. M.2 doesn't seem to make much sense to me, tiny hot running chips vs a much larger cooler pcie board, or am I missing something?
