Understanding NVMe and SATA Storage

What was a major reason for the decline of PATA cables?

• They were incompatible with SSDs.

• They were too expensive.

• They were used exclusively by mechanical hard drives.

• They had a high failure rate.

Why might some users not notice a significant difference between SATA and NVMe?

• NVMe is only beneficial for gaming.

• SATA is more reliable than NVMe.

• The performance leap from SATA to NVMe is not as noticeable for average users.

• NVMe is slower than SATA.

What is a key advantage of SATA over NVMe when it comes to system storage?

• SATA drives are faster than NVMe drives.

• SATA drives do not use PCI Express lanes.

• SATA drives have a higher failure rate.

• SATA drives are more expensive than NVMe drives.

How does using multiple NVMe drives affect a system's performance?

• It has no impact on system performance.

• It improves the graphics card performance.

• It can lead to performance drops if PCI Express lanes are limited.

• It reduces the need for a graphics card.

Why might SATA still be preferred for large storage needs?

• SATA drives have a longer lifespan than NVMe drives.

• SATA drives are faster than NVMe drives.

• SATA drives are cheaper per gigabyte than SSDs.

• SATA drives are more compact than NVMe drives.
