• Are both SSDs the same?

    I'm looking at two desktops. I can't tell if the SSD is the same on each configuration, because one says NVMe, while the other doesn't. Is it just sloppy description, or are both SSDs the same?


    1) 512GB PCIe M.2 SSD +1TB SATA 7200 RPM HDD

    2) 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive + 2TB 7200RPM Hard Drive

    Companies not able to state clearly what they're
    selling, just don't seem to get the business.

    It's especially bad, when the options on the page,
    there's no pictures to help users decide what
    they're getting. Just a lot of irrelevant fluff
    about the size and outside color of the casing.
    ("will it match my drapes ?"). That's very
    important, that drapes thing.

    I cannot offer you any guarantees as to what they
    had in mind. Me making WAG is not going to help.
    I try to trace them down, when I can. But in this
    case, Google searches = noise. I couldn't find
    a review.
