I'm probably late to the party. Is the M.2 SSD literally storage but smaller? Can someone please explain it to me in ELI5 version?
Physical size is mostly irrelevant.M.2 is smaller than SATA 3 SSD.
You forgot about NVME drives that come as PCIe cards.NVME SSDs are a different story, and only come in the M.2 flavor.

Yeah I could have phrased that better, they certainly dont have the market saturation as M.2 does.

That 2TB 660p is still an NVME drive, its the same exact drive just in a larger capacity.
Where do you see 1TB and 2TB at the same price?
The 1TB 660p for ~$100 is pretty much its normal price. I bought one for $88 a couple of months ago.newegg i linked. one is on sale for $100 but its original price is $200
Really? Can you link Newegg pages to these NVME drives as PCIe cards?
