      @@mian1222 Speed isn't the only thing that matters. Sure, if you are a heavy gamer, you would probably want to invest in a decently sized SSD. If you are just using the machine for office use and are saving files and such, an SSD would be a waste. The HDD that I have on my machine has all my work on it. I don't really notice any differences in load times between my M.2 and the HDD for those (because it's not like the files are gigabytes in size). If you are in that situation, why spend 2-3 times as much on an SSD when you could get an HDD that probably has 2-3 times more storage space?
      I agree, SSDs are the better option in most cases and it's good to have at least a low-capacity SSD to boot Windows from, but HDDs are certainly the best for mass storage and a standard office setting.

I have later swapped it with a 2TB SSD. Now I have replacement HDD from the warranty claim which I can't even give away for free to anyone with clear conscience.

    the thing I love about m.2 drives is that you have not only an even smaller drive than conventional SSDs but also you save a ton of space for the usual cables required
    I can see 2 to 4 TB m.2 SSDs being affordable in a few years and mainboards being equipped with 4 slots could be more or less standard
    this is especially helpful for ITX builds but honestly I really like it in my current ATX build too, I only have my OS drive on m.2 coupled with 2 conventional drives and I can potentially add another m.2 later on without fiddeling around with another set of cables

    I updated my setup early this year. Instead of buying a 8TB nVME, as even 4TB nVMEs were far an in between, I bought a datacenter focused U.2 drive (7.68TB). Which is essentially the same thing, BUT it has higher IOPS and it costs STILL less per TB than the nVME-ones. Sure, I had to wait for months to get it - but it's been a fantastic thing for the ~$1500 it costed.
    You can also get a U.2 M.2 adapters without any performance hit IF you don't find a MOBO with U.2 available.

      The Blue/Purple is the PCIeX2 SSD as you can see it's bottlenecked . The Red/Green is the PCIeX4 Sabrent Rocket. It performs pretty much twice the speed.
      The theoretical maximum speed a PCIeX2 could run at is [speed of PCIe3.0 1000MB/s x2 =] 2,000 MB/S .. but that doesn't account for overhead.
      What this means is. Don't bother buying the Sabrent if your laptop only dedicates 2 PCIe lanes for the M.2
