M.2 vs. SATA SSD: Key Differences Explained by Sing Peng is a document available to read on EtoBox.
M.2 SSDs use either the SATA or PCIe interface, while SATA SSDs only use SATA. The PCIe interface in M.2 SSDs supports much higher bandwidths than SATA, allowing for greater speeds when using the NVMe protocol instead of AHCI. Therefore, an M.2 SSD using NVMe can vastly outperform a SATA SSD or an M.2 SSD using the older AHCI protocol, making the PCIe/NVMe combination the best option for performance.
