Everything about M.2
Standard for miniature computer expansion cards
M.2, formerly known as the Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), is a specification for internally mounted computer expansion cards and connectors. It was developed to replace the older Mini SATA (mSATA) and Mini PCIe (mPCIe) standards. M.2 supports a variety of module sizes and interface types, offering greater flexibility for modern devices. It is widely used in compact systems such as ultrabooks and tablet computers, particularly for solid-state drives (SSDs), due to its smaller size and higher performance compared to mSATA. Wikipedia →
