(on motherboard)This is my older M.2 drive, which is a lowly SATA II / B-Key unit. The performance is quite good, slightly exceeding the new drive.

RAM drive (16GB of memory)
This is a bit of a cheat. I made a pseudo-volume from some of the RAM on my system. Nothing written to this "drive" will survive a reboot. It's interesting that the speed is greater than that of the M.2 drives, but not by much.rand()m quote
