I've just written a blog post that covers similar things to my talk about M.2 and SSD.
Apparently someone asked for my lecture notes, that wouldn't be useful but the above post probably will be.
You might find this interesting too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NVM_Express And I just learnt that the flash used in most SSDs is pretty much equivalent these days; however, Samsung has the best firmware/management of the flash -- so it is the one to go for. Also, with SSD, apparently when it writes data, it does an erase of the storage space of 6MB and then writes 6MB per write operation; it was likened to how CD/RW disks work. The ex NSA guy at PC Perspectives does a lot of research in this whole area. Check out their website. Cheers AndrewM
