There are two common types — Serial AT Attachment or SATA and Non-volatile Movement Express or NVMe SSDs. SATA SSDs are the more common type of SSD, which can work on virtually any computer. 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.
