Hi guys,
So I really have no idea on what to get and what they do basically. All I know is, SSD is SSD, faster load/boot up times than a regular HDD. No idea what NVMe is and so on.
My board is the Strix Z370-E.
So basically, my questions are, the M.2 SSD's are the PCI-e SSD's right? The one that looks more like a RAM?
The NVMe SSD is the one that you need to insert on the PCI-e slot that kind of looks like a graphics card right?
All questions boils down to what SSD should I get? The RAM-looking, the Graphics card-looking or the regular 2.5" SSD?
Based on this quote:
I'm not really sure what to get.
Now on those 3 different looking SSD's, do they also differ in read/write speeds?
If so, which should I get?
This will be mainly used for OS and few games, I have a Black WD for storage.
Thanks a bunch and let me know if these questions are confusing.

Based on this quote:
M.2 SSDs can use either the PCIe bus or SATA bus, and the 850 Evo is a SATA 6Gbps drive—it's no faster than a normal 2.5-inch SSD. Its main advantage is the smaller M.2 card form factor, which is of benefit in NUCs, Mini-ITX builds, or in ultra-thin laptops.
