If you've ever thought about making your PC or laptop faster, the first thing you've probably heard of doing is to "upgrade to an SSD" or "replace your hard drive with an SSD." You might have also heard of the term NVMe SSDs thrown around here and there too, especially if you've tried shopping around for an SSD. In this article, we'll be providing you with a complete guide to what exactly solid-state drives (SSDs) and NVMe SSDs are, what advantages they provide, and whether or not they're something that you should purchase for your machine. There are two common types — Serial AT Attachment or SATA and Non-volatile Movement Express or NVMe SSDs. This is because NVMe SSDs can offer read/write speeds of up to 3,500-5,000 MB per second, which is a considerable jump from the max-600 MB speeds that SATA drives provide. While it's clear that NVMe trumps SATA speeds by a landslide, they are more expensive in terms of price. However, if your work depends on fast file transfers such as photo and video editing, video production, or content creation, then spending the extra money on NVMe will be worth it. The cheaper model comes with eMMC, while the more expensive models come with an NVMe SSD.
