Ngff m.2(2242) ssd any good?

[fowler002]

While on the asus website for bios update I found out that my motherboard(Maximus vi formula) supports the above mentioned m.2 ssd, tho I haven’t installed the mpcie combo(which also has the WiFi and Bluetooth) on the motherboard. I knew it had WiFi and Bluetooth but never realised it did ssd.

Is there any point in getting a m.2 ssd for that vs your standard sata ssd?

This is the description of the m.2 I got for my laptop! I just used I for my OS. I think it is mega fast, my laptop is on and ready to use in 4 seconds

I have one of the Samsung PCI Express 3.0 x4 NVMe. They are lightning fast. They are about as dramatic as the first SSD's where. Windows loads in a few seconds. Most apps are pretty much instant. I current have one and I am about to buy a larger one for games. They are expensive but load times are dramatically reduced.
