So with the onslaught of the new z97 boards, there seems to be a lot of new formfactors for SSD's.
Could someone please explain these to me? It looks to me like there are three new technologies and I'm very confused.
M.2. Supposedly this is a newer version of msata? And it uses pci lanes instead of sata cables? Is this like msata where the ssd has a specific port on the mobo?
Pcie-based. I've seen ssds that plug into pice slots like the plextor m6e? I've heard these are basically M.2 ssd's hooked up to a pci connector? So whats the difference between this and a hardired M.2?
E-SATA/SATA Express: I have no questions here I just need a basic explanation.
Thank you in advance!
