Message   August Abolins    All   is ngff (m.2) sata ssd worth it?   October 23, 2026
 10:46 PM *   

Recently, I pulled a 256GB NVME/PCIe card from an all-in-one computer (priced  
at $12 as-is).

I ordered a properly matching case for it -  it was actually sold as a pair  
of cases.  But 'zon sent the wrong match.  The order description did NOT  
match the actual product that I received. The product that I got was actually  
LABELLED for "NGFF/SATA" So, I requested a refund - and got that without  
needing to return the case.

Now.. I have a couple of "free" NGFF/SATA cases.  Is it worth loading them  
with new SATA SSDs?

I see that basic 256GB M.2 SATA SSD is about $60.  But NVME/PCIe is *much*  
faster for the same price.

128GB M.2 SATA SSD is about $40.

BTW.. the 256GB NVME/PCIe card ($12) works great in a properly matching case.
