gollark: ... *can* you run IDE over PCIe or SATA?Oddly, with different M.2 keys, you can get I²C, USB, DisplayPort, audio, SIM card connectors, SMBus, SDIO, UART and PCM on a M.2 card. I don't know why they added support for this.
gollark: What do you want me to say, AHCI vs NVMe? PCIe vs SATA?
gollark: Er. What?
gollark: M.2 is just a different form factor. There are NVMe M.2 SSDs (PCIe-based, faster - though for most usage it's not distinguishable) and SATA-based M.2 (like a 2.5" SATA drive on a convenient "stick").
gollark: But not really.
