NVMe SSDs are significantly faster than standard SATA SSDs, and I'm curious about the technical specifics behind this. How many data lanes do they use, and what protocols do they prefer? How much do differences like PCIe 4.0 vs. 5.0 actually impact performance? Also, what are the advantages and disadvantages of DRAM-cached models compared to DRAM-less ones?
How does an NVMe SSD boost read/write speeds so much?

Hmm, I'm definitely one of those who's curious about NVMe drives obliterating SATA. It's fascinating how the number of PCIe lanes and the protocol directly boost performance, especially in the DRAM vs. no-DRAM debate—how do the no-DRAM models fare in terms of heat?
