I thought mSATA was going to be replaced by M.2.

Considering that M.2 drives are limited to 512GB for some reason, and that the speed increases are of marginal use, I'd rather have mSATA. also, mSATA is smaller than 80mm M.2. And some M.2 drives are having overheating problems

wait, why is M.2 a thing again?

why is SATA based M.2 a thing? no idea offers no benefits over mSATA.

Why is PCI Express base M.2 a thing? Well that extra 4Gbps of throughput is quite nice.

Because it is supposed to replace mSATA and it is also smaller (the smallest variant):

i always preferred msata due to the small form factor, m.2 is complicated, and most of the ssds are too long, there are small m.2 ssds, but they rarely cross 128gb, while msata is the smae size at 1tb...if 2242 size can become the norm in pci-e and get the size up to 1tb, then ill change my opinion to m.2, but for now, im msata all the way
