[GTALUG] Build critique request and the story behind it.

I seem to be good at giving too-late advice.

The coming thing in SSDs is NVMe.
  <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NVM_Express>

These live directly on the PCI bus and thus get rid of the SATA
bottleneck.  But most current SSDs aren't significantly bottlenecked
by SATA.

You need OS support (in Linux for 5 years but improved more recently)
and hardware support (prehaps only firmware for booting from NVMe).  I
bet that your motherboard, chipset, and CPU chip support NVMe.

NVMe SSDs cost more than SSDs with SATA, mSATA, and m.2 connectors.

I don't think that any of my machines supports NVMe.
