Looking for an M.2 SSD to be paired with the Gigabyte - GA-AB350-GAMING 3 ATX AM4 Motherboard for around $80 any and all suggestions are welcome thx :3
You need to look beyond the "m.2" designation, and look at SATA vs NVMe.
m.2 is just the physical connection.
They can be either SATA based or NVMe.
A SATA m.2 drive is exactly the same performance as a regular 2.5" SATA III SSD. And the same price.
An NVMe drive (960 Pro, for instance), is way faster. And more expensive.
At $80, you're looking at a 120GB drive. Which is TooSmall.
