Stick to sata for hard drive upgrade?

[413x]

Going to be moving from windows 7 to 10 and bringing my desktop out of storag .

The board is an old socket 1150 (4770k cpu)

At the moment is hosting a small old crucial mx500 sata ssd

Id like to upgrade this.
Is it best to stick to a normal sata ssd? Or are there more exciting options?

Update

Board is z87
I believe I'd have to fiddle around with bios nodding.

Is nvme worth it over sata?
I'm talking application, pushing data around, photography etc. Not loading games.

Nvme M2 in my opinion is only worth it
Once you have something else as fast
To copy to /from
Then it slaughters 2.5ssds
If the price is the same then obviously m2
Is the choice anyway

Let me look and see of it has any benefits.
I was thinking in terms of photoshop and data copying. But the USB 3 bus may be the bottleneck there.

The only way for you to use M.2 would be on a PCIe card and then it depends whether that's something your mobo can boot from. Z87 probably can but then you're looking at what slots are available. For an older system, SATA is the sensible choice.

If you're looking for an upgrade to something different, as above, get a used PCI NVMe card and used 128\256GB NVMe to use a a boot drive and keep your current SSD as a storage drive.

Unless used prices have gone up recently the upgrade should cost less than £50.

Stick with SATA, it works natively with your board. Also, if you're copying from a USB 3.0 source, you don't need NVME speeds (that won't be used anyway). You can always get an NVME drive if you change platform to one it's properly supported on.
