So i am stuck on this decision. The 850 evo m.2 and the 850 evo and pretty much the same price. Actually the m.2 is aliltle cheaper. Is the any difference between the 2? all i can figure out is no cables to work with if i get the m.2. Also my motherboard is a z270 m5 if that helps. Which one should i go with.

Solution
1. "m.2" is simply the connection type. Performance is exactly the same.
2. The m.2 tends to run a little bit hotter. But not so much that there is an issue.
