From everything I have seen, an M.2 in sata mode, removes a sata port and there is no speed advantage because you are still running through the sata bus. I have never seen an advantage in running an M.2 in sata mode. There may be advantages on a laptop, but I don't know about that. Just my opinion, which is worth what you paid for it.
Steve, I have said 3 times both M.2's are set to PCIe x4(as opposed to slower x2) and not SATA.
Or was that comment just a generalization and not towards me?
But that with a M:2 SATA SSDs is probably for people the have an old laptop M.2 they want to use, or, it also uses less space in a PC.
