But you took the time to google the other irrelevant information? Applause

The SATA interface is more limited than a direct PCIE interface, like NVME, but it still has a place and is not going anywhere soon.

The underlying NAND flash is not different between a 2.5" SSD or a M.2 2280 form factor, so the cost can not be radically different even though the interface has very large differences. You can save on the controller costs however.
Finally starting to see some normalization after pandemic purchasing fever. "To the bottom baby!"

yes, my 2005 mb has both ide and sata ports.
Yep, as do the very latest and greatest DDR5 based motherboards made this year (yep to the SATA, not to the IDE). This guy apparently didn't realize SATA ports are still a standard interface Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

What about the newest laptops?

This is one of the cheapest and least reliable brands you can buy.

The 2.5" SSD is already outdated so it is expected though a little too late. Who has a modern laptop or PC that uses this form factor instead of the newer M2 2280 or NVMe these days?

If anything, the 2280 SSDs from reliable brands like Samsung and Hynix should be seeing the price drop by now, not this.

EDIT: The truth is too hard for you downvoters to accept? Do a quick Google search. The 2.5" SSD came out in 1991, 31 years ago. The M.2 came out in 2012.

I'll agree about Team Group not being a great brand but the rest is pretty ridiculous. SSDs may have been around since 1991 but those have nearly nothing in common with modern ones. Those didn't even use the SATA interface, which didn't come out until 2000. Just because hard drives came out in the 1950's, does that mean they are all useless today?

Quote from BlueRaccoon1085 :

The vast majority of modern desktops and many laptops still support 2.5" SATA drives. Most of them also support the M.2 form factor, which can also be SATA. Even on machines with M.2 slots, SATA ports tend to be more plentiful. They are a great way to add more storage. Also, even though the NVMe interface can allow for much higher throughput, for the most common uses, there will be little to no noticeable performance difference.

The wall outlet everyone plugs their USB C laptop chargers into is so outdated it must be useless too, by your 'logic.'

My 2 year old laptop I am sitting at now has a 2.5 and an m.2..
I have SSDs in both.

SATA SSDs may be older tech, but that doesn't make them useless. My PC has 2 m.2 slots (1 PCIe gen 4, 1 gen 3), and they're both already filled for a total of 3tb. My build has six 2.5" bays that I added two 1tb SATA SSDs in RAID 0 for extra game storage. Especially since Direct Storage isn't implemented in a single game on PC yet, games on this drive won't load any slower than the fastest drive on the market (at least not noticeably). Even when Direct Storage finally is implemented, I'll have extra storage for games that will load very slightly slower than my NVME drives.

I just like how brave Newegg is calling this is a deal thinking 16GB SD card is worth anything when 128gb sd can be had for less than $8 and the sata 1tb ssd less than $50 is the everyday price.

I was wondering since my 2021 gaming laptop only fits two 2230 or 2280.

Do you not see the HARD DRIVE deals posted on here every week? I have a prepandemic laptop and it has both a SATA connection and an M.2 connection. It is modern enough to be Windows 11 approved.

Have you actually looked at the latest desktop motherboards? ALL of the ones I've seen have way more SATA connectors than M.2 connections. The fact of the matter is there are only so many PCIE lanes available. I don't think any consumer motherboards offer 4 m.2 slots that work at full speed. That's why people move up to Threadripper Pro.

I agree that I wish pricing was better on these drives but to call them "outdated" is just crazy. They all serve their purpose. SATA speed SSDs will be around for a long time. Most consumer applications are perfectly fine on SATA SSDs.

You're not going to find much standard on laptops in general - they are incredibly varied both within a manufacturers product line as well as across brands/manufacturers. I've got a 2 year old Dell Inspiron with both m.2 and sata ports; i've got a newer low budget gateway that doesn't even have RAM slots (its soldered on) or a NIC port. They're all over the place.

Off the cuff guess would be you'd be more likely to find them on larger form factors, less likely on smaller form factors / ultra-thins. No question though, SATA ports definitely won't be as ubiquitous on laptops as they are on desktop motherboards; just tremendously more specialized / varied / space constrained. You'd think at least a RAM slot would be a given, but not the case...

Coming from a semiconductor engineer, SATA SSDs can be manufactured on older, far cheaper process nodes than a space constrained NVMe drive. This was super evident with 120GB SATA SSDs as they would literally take up the entire PCB on both sides, whereas 120GB SATA M.2 30mm drives would be on the newest process.
