Explanation

NVMe SSDs use the PCIe bus and deliver far higher throughput and lower latency than SATA HDDs, which greatly improves load times and responsiveness for games. 2.5" and SATA III HDDs are much slower mechanical drives suited to bulk storage, not high- performance gaming, and SAS SSDs are typically enterprise/server parts, not common or optimal in gaming laptops.
