nvme is easier to install, however.
Normal 2.5 SATA, and an M.2 SATA, NOT M.2 NVME. So....same speed.

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