   Which SATA SSD should I buy?

   • If you’re looking to add some storage via a traditional 2.5-inch SATA drive rather than a tiny M.2 “gumstick,” Samsung’s spectacular 870 EVO is your best bet. It’s the fastest SATA SSD we’ve tested, it’s available in up to 4TB of capacity, and it’s exceedingly affordable given its speed.

   Is a SATA drive better than a hard drive?

   • However, SATA drives are more common, usually cost less and still offer excellent performance for common applications.

   Is SATA 3 better than SDD?

   • However, the maximum data throughput of SATA III is 600MB/s, and while this is fine for HDDs, SDDs are capable of much faster speeds, which means if you have an SSD with a SATA III connection, the drive’s performance is actually being held back by its SATA connection. To avoid that bottleneck, you can get SSDs that have a PCIe connection.

   Do I need a SATA adapter for a laptop?

   Where does data SATA go?

   • Data SATA goes from your storage drive to the SATA port on your motherboard. A way to turn your internal hard drive into an external one. Perhaps you have some data on your desktop PC drive, but it’s too big to send via Internet and you don’t have a sizable USB flash drive.
