    One plugs into the motherboard via SATA cable, the other goes into an M.2 slot on the motherboard.

    M.2 is the form factor of the SSD and what kind of socket it can be plugged into on a Motherboard. SATA is also a connector on a motherboard but it is also the backplane for how it connects to the Computer. This will limit the kind of speeds you can get.

    When you purchase a drive you want to look and see if your motherboard supports it and if the Drive is SATA or PCIe based. PCIe is faster then SATA and usually uses the M.2 connector to a motherboard. SATA drives can either use the SATA port or the M.2 style port to connect to the computer but both will run at SATA speeds.

    M.2 describes the connector only. Sata or NVMe are almost protocols that M.2 devices can use. This one is SATA.

    For a M.2 of ~250Gb, this isn't really a big bargain.

    They are both m.2 2280 drives
    This particular drive though is SATA m.2, so it's basically old tech, uses PCI Express Version 2.0 x4, instead of the current NVME Drives using 3.0 x4.
    Severely limited in speed, in comparison, you would only ever want this over a current gen NVME if you only have support for m.2 SATA 2.0 x4.
    And that's debatable anyway, since I believe most, if not all current 3.0 drives are backwards compatible.
    At least that' my take on it, I've been researching this myself today. And I'm still undecided which way to go.

    Someone feel free to correct me, or explain it better.

  Price is good, delivery was robbery

    The price is good if you are specifically looking for a SATA m.2 drive, and only because generally these older tech drives just aren't made anymore.

  I sure bought a 256gb Transcend 430 (m.2 2242) for $70 something, free delivery (took 1.5 weeks to deliver though).
