Although SATA and PCIe are most commonly referred to in terms of the drives they support, the technologies themselves are actually the interface medium. SATA is a little L-shaped connector that has been used for connecting drives of all sorts to motherboards for years, including optical drives, as well as hard drives and SSDs.
SATA hard drives can be found in both 3. PCIe refers to PCI Express, a multifaceted interface on modern motherboards that provides everything from larger sockets for graphics cards , to smaller ports for add-in cards for Wi-Fi, USB ports, and more. It can vary in size and bandwidth from x1 at the smallest and least capable, through to x16 for the largest and greatest available bandwidth.
They tend to be around a third the size of a standard graphics card. Those drives are far smaller and typically have their own dedicated slot or two on the motherboard. However, the fastest of them do ship with heatspreaders and heatsinks to keep them at safe operating temperatures.
The most common is PCIe 3. The major difference between the two is bandwidth, with PCIe 4. Gold Edition. Card Optical Device Drive. A UK Processor. Xeon Dual Processor Wolfdale. Slim Form Factor.
