We have been visualizing the SSD drives that will be relayed to SATA for a long time: M.2 standards, especially in today's notebooks, which will undoubtedly also be present in future notebooks. The SATA standard has long had a replacement, and it is no surprise to anyone, which is the aforementioned, M.2. These standards are not only limited to connecting storage devices, it is a more practical, faster and more efficient type of solutions.

S.2 SSD Drive Relay Generation M.2 Drive
Today, it is more than clear that M.2 SSDs are the present and the future in terms of updates for our PCs and laptops.
There are chances that we can not install this type of update to PCs but more than all to laptops, because these have less expansion capacity and have to conform to the type of connector that is located on the motherboard. Although there is an option and this is to find an M.2 to PCl-e adapter to connect to the M.2 SSD.
M.2 shows us 3 function modes:
- Using SATA 3.0 it acts like a normal SSD: Using it in this way is sure to get compatibility with older operating systems.
- Using SATA over PCI-e but with AHCI commands: It operates with the commands just like a normal disk but through a much faster connection, because a PCI-e connection is being used instead of SATA.
- Using SATA over PCI-e but with NVMe commands: This is the only way that you can take full advantage of all the speed of new devices. We have had to create a series of commands that take advantage of and allow us to see the full benefit of the new discs.

Motherboards
It is important to be clear that if you do not have the latest generations of motherboards, chips or PCs and laptops, you will not be able to get the best performance that these SSD drives can provide.
The M.2 standard works with 3 logical interfaces:
- Can be connected via SATA controllers (provide the worst performance) Also connect with PCl-e x2 buses Also with PCl-e x4 buses
- Sequential read / write speed up to 530/510 MB / s on any file type Random read / write speed up to 92k / 83 k on any file type Power efficiency 90 times higher than that of a traditional hard drive Accelerated by Micron 3D NAND Dynamic write acceleration provides superior speed and saves file transfer time
It is important that M.2 drives are compatible with NVME, if they are SATA you will not be able to take full advantage of the higher performance available, since they are normally limited to 500/550 MB / s. While NVME reach speeds of 2 GB / s. Already have an M.2 drive? How about?
