M.2 wouldn't be a bottleneck. It supports up to PCIe 3.0 x4 which has a maximum bandwidth of 4 GBps in each direction.

- iotku 8y agoNVMe specifically, as M.2 is just the connector (which can also use the slower SATA interface) rather than the interface.
- Sephr 8y agoActually PCIe specifically. NVMe improves performance slightly, but it's mostly all due to PCIe. I have a non-NVMe Samsung AHCI M.2 SSD from 2014 that gives me ~2.3GB/s sequential reads and ~1.2GB/s sequential writes, no NVMe required.
