Lately, I switched from sata-connected ssd's to the type with an m.2 connection. If you don't know what that is, look it up. I've been putting in WD black m.2 NVMe's lately and I have to say, there is no downside to using an m.2 connection for your main, and my preference only, drive. They don't attach with sata cables, the size of a piece of gum, and you can get the in massive sizes. They also stay safely screwed to your motherboard. Technology is finally catching up. Like a micro sd card for a desktop.
I tested the m.2 compared to a normal SSD during gameplay, and I did indeed max out the 550mbps write speed of my sandisk ultra via hwinfo. The m.2 was a little above at about 700mbps while gaming. So SATA can, not in every situation, but it can be the last bottleneck in your system. If you haven't used one, I suggest trying then posting. I loaded Windows 10 Pro Business edition in about 5 minutes. And was playing a game within 15 minutes.
After restarting again, everything is faster. Not one thing didn't benefit from getting an m.2 drive. I've been monitoring what kind of traffic an SSD really has while gaming, desktop use etc over the past year, with various SSD's. I've maxed out my sandisk ultra's read and write speeds a number of times. An m.2 drive, which won the race for the new tech for attaching an SSD to your board, is sure to last you a long time before bottlenecking.
