NVMe vs. SATA
If you’re shopping for the fastest internal SSD, choose NVMe™ (Non-Volatile Memory Express) vs. SATA. NVMe, which connects to your laptop or desktop PC via the PCIe® interface, can hit speeds as high as 7.5GB per second1. Compare this to SATA, which typically tops out at 500MB per second.
NVMe
A communications protocol optimized to handle high bandwidth SATA transfer, with up to 4 lanes per device. Supports up to 1000MB/s per lane with PCIe interface.
SATA
A communications protocol optimized for spinning magnetic disks. Supports up to 600MB/s transfer rate (SATA 6GB/s).

Disclosures
1. Based on read speed. 1 MB/s = 1 million bytes per second. Based on internal testing; performance may vary depending upon host device, usage conditions, drive capacity, and other factors.
2. 1TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment.
