I think they were saying that the read write speeds being from a NVMe would be faster than (an unspecified) SATA drive. But that was my assumption while reading
SATA SSDs are still more than fast enough to saturate a 2.5G ethernet connection. Some HDDs can even saturate 2.5G on large sequential reads and writes. The higher speed from M.2 NVMe drives isn’t very useful when they overheat and thermal throttle quickly. You need U.2 or EDSFF drives for sustained high speed transfers.

NVMe uses SSDs as well as flash memory. NVMe is just the protocol.

Exactly. NVMe for my gaming desktop, HDD and SATA SSD for my NAS.
Although joking, I do tend to assume that people who say SSD refer to the traditional SATA SSD drives and not M.2.
