Any real reason to use a M.2 SSD over a standard SSD for gaming (mostly)?

Friend of mine installed a M.2 SSD , but considering the cost I was wondering if it makes any real difference for a gamer to have one?

No not really
A 2.5 ssd is just so fast anyway
When you have 2 or more x4 nvme
M2 drives then they shine
Copying to /from them slaughters
A 2.5 ssd

Keeps your case a bit tidier if that’s important to you. SSDs are so fast now a days the transfer rate differences aren’t going to be perceivable.
