An NVMe storage device functions like a solid-state drive, while the one you're considering is likely SATA-based. Its value hinges on your specific needs. Most situations work well with SATA drives.

They're essentially the same technology, just with different interfaces. Unless you're doing a lot of heavy writing, the performance difference is usually negligible.

It's worth mentioning that you can also obtain M.2 drives operating at SATA speed for roughly comparable cost, potentially reducing your effort with cable organization.
