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.

Exactly. NVMe for my gaming desktop, HDD and SATA SSD for my NAS.
