NVMe vs SATA SSDs
NVMe SSDs generally use theM.2 slot typeto connect to a computer.
SATA SSDs use a SATA cable.
For NVMe drives, it all depends on the drive’s memory technology and the PCIe connection speed.

Although this usually requires SSDs on a PCIe card, rather than an M.2 connection.
The latest Gen 5x4 drives using M.2 will happily hit 10,000 MB/s.
Which brings use to the next issue.
We recomended this as the best 4TB SSD for PS5 even at its full price. For $130 off, it’s a no-brainer.

How Fast Are USB and Thunderbolt?
from SATA to USB) which introduces some level of overhead.
Then, the maximum throughput sets a hard limit on the top speed possible.
However, it will be some time before even 20Gbps or 40Gbps connections are commonplace on most computers.
Also, what connections does your box actually offer?
If you only have 5Gbps USB 3 ports, that’s how fast the SSD can go at most.
Finally, think carefully about how much speed you actually need.
600 MB/s over SATA is still phenomenally fast.
