M2 Sata or M2 NVMe?

[JJimmyJ]

Hello

Never looked into the world os M2, but now feel like I need some more storage, and have an M2 slot on my X470 Prime Pro motherboard.
So, googling for info has left me slightly confused!
M2 is obviously the form factor, but there are 2 'shapes'?
One is like an 'M' shape and the other looks like standard PCI shape. My understanding is the 'M' shape is SATA, and the PCI shape is NVMe, but most of the descriptions contradict this?

I'm after a 1TB M2 ssd, but really not sure on the differences
Any help please

Excellent info!
Thanks for the details, that helps a lot.
I'm not after astounding speed, just the extra storage. I could chuck a standard ssd in again, but I have the slot so figure I may as well utilise. Now I know what I'm looking for

Thanks again

Ok, had a look on ocuk using the info above.
This seems to fit the bill - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inte...id-state-drive-ssdpeknw010t8x1-hd-08v-in.html
No reviews, but it's 1tb and costs less than the samsung??? Something wrong there?
