For everyday use, they are the same. Lots of youtube videos compare loading games, and performance is very similar. Those numbers mean nothing.

nvme is easier to install, however.

Folks, you need to LOOK at the drives.
Normal 2.5 SATA, and an M.2 SATA, NOT M.2 NVME. So....same speed.

Sold by Amazon. This qualifies for 30% off when you use any amount of Discover rewards. I used a penny of Discover rewards and charged the rest to my Discover card for another 5% off. Only $18 + tax for 500 GB.

I spend $10 more and get Dram cache > https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1

I use these to upgrade older laptops and Dell AIO systems, they work great.

If the drive is used as attached storage, is Dram even usable?

If your pc has NVME, buy NVME. If it doesn't, you are not missing out on much with SATA if the other component specs are similar. We had very similar spec'd machines at work with the 2 different types of drives. It seemed that large applications may have opened slightly faster… but it was so close that you would not notice if you weren't counting.

NVMe is much faster, but for normal daily use you won't be able to tell a difference. Trust me. I had a standard M.2 DRAM-less SSD and replaced it with a NVMe with DRAM one and I can't tell the difference. I mostly code and browse the internet with around 20 tabs open at a time.

If you do a lot of gaming then I recommend NVMe. Otherwise, any SSD will be fine. DRAM is also useful regardless of application, but honestly, I highly doubt the average PC use will be able to tell the difference. Supposedly, drives with DRAM are more reliable with higher TBW (terabytes written - which refers to how much lifetime data a SSD can handle being written to it), but I've had DRAM less drives last as long as ones with DRAM. And I don't think most will reach the theoretical TBWs of DRAM less drives anyway. Drives will often fail before even reaching that point.

Also a thing to note is that NVMe does not refer to the form factor like one of the comments above is implying. NVMe drives are almost always in M.2 form factor, but there are some M.2 drives that aren't NVMe. I have not seen a consumer level 2.5" NVMe drive though.

If you are interested in a NVMe drive, make sure your computer has a M.2 slot that actually works with NVMe drives. It's becoming increasingly rare for computers to have M.2 slots that don't accept NVMe drives, but older PCs do have those.

No. SATA is around 500 range, NVME Gen 3 is around 3000 , Gen 4 is even faster 5000. Just ball park figures for comparison
Not even close except for Sata. NVME 3 can range for 1000 to 3500 and NVME 4 ranges from about 3500 to 7000. 've seen many 4.0's slower than some 3.0. I buy and sell tens of thousands of drives per year. Been in the industry for over 30 years. Great upgrade for older laptops and machines with no nvme.

Where are you seeing this? I don't see any 30% off. I used $1 of my discover rewards. The total is still $28ish.

Amazing price, but now, I need the capacity to be larger even if the price per GB is not as good. Space is space, and I'd rather not have a bunch of "small" 500 GB lying around

500 GB price went up to $30. You have to activate the promotion to get 30% off but it only works on items sold by Amazon.

The CS900 1TB is $53 and 2TB is $105 so same price per GB and larger.

Well, I was quoting someone whom was already suggesting a product at MicroCenter. I was just offering another alternative for those who could take advantage.
