M.2SSD vs normal SSD

Solution
THe mSATA 3.0Gb/s (SATA2) device will have less bandwidth versus the 2.5" SATA device at 6.0Gb/s (SATA3) but "ONLY" if your mainboard supports SATA 6Gb/s (SATA3)

If your mainboard only supports SATA 3Gb/s (SATA2) then there will probably be little to no difference in performance, as they are both rated for the same Read/Write speeds and IOPS

Good catch, i should have realized being they are same model, just different interface they would be same SATA generation.
