SATA SSDs might as well be spinning drives compared to NVMe. 100% the only
reason you would buy SATA SSDs is because you've used (both) the NVMe slot(s) on
your mobo.

i bought an NVMe along with my first ryzen 7 in 2017 and that one is /still/
faster than the SSDs they sell today because of that giant SATA bottleneck.

this is only going to get worse for SATA because as of now the future plan is a
NVMe->GPU direct pipeline, and 10gbit networking is already 2x what a sata ssd
can keep up with.. hell 2.5gbit might even be pushing it if your drive is pretty
full.

i sound a bit like a zealot but it really is awesome. and significantly cheaper
than when i first got into it.
