SSDs, or Solid State Drives, are a type of storage device that uses flash memory to store data, offering much faster speeds than traditional hard drives. M.2, on the other hand, refers to the physical form factor of a storage device. While commonly used for SSDs, it can also house other components. An M.2 SSD can leverage different interfaces like SATA or NVMe, with NVMe offering even faster data transfer speeds.
