NVMe Gen3 vs Gen4 vs SATA

[Wrinkly]

Just because it comes up every so often.

My reason for choosing SATA is that it runs cooler and doesn't use your PCIe lanes.

I just really hope that seperate data and power cables for SSDs goes away. Really don't need this many cables for a <5w device.

These power cables are not restricted to just SSDs though. As an example, I've got a power cable supplying extra power to a USB card with 4 dedicated controllers.
