[SOLVED] Is a M.2 on an M.2 to SATA adapter faster than an ssd?

Would this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6ZP6M02440&ignorebbr=1 with an M.2 be as fast as a normal M.2?

And what is RAID?

 

[mdd1963]

Any device on a SATA bus or adapted to SATA is then limited to SATAIII transfer speeds, maxing out at 6 Gbps, or, only about 600 MB/sec in actual practice. (Plenty for spinning DVD's and spinning hard drives, which will never beat 240 MB/sec sustained speeds anyway. Few would normally put a 2000-3000+ MB/sec NVME device on a SATA adapter, save for perhaps temp purposes to get at the data for recovery purposes, perhaps...

You can google what RAID is for in-depth descriptions of various RAID levels, but, it's using multiple drives for either redundancy, and/or speed/throughput increases. (A single drive is limited to 200-240 MB/sec throughput, but, two drives combined can almost double that speed, etc...

No.
It is still going through the SATA III interface.

If you don't know why or why not you need a RAID of any type...you don't need it.

And in the vast majority of consumer use cases, you don't need a RAID of any type.

normal M.2

What do you consider "normal"? M.2 can be SATA or NMVe. NVMe is the fast one.

ok thank you
