From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thanks, I wasn't really thinking about transfer speeds, it's just the PCIe drives are cheaper (depending) and more re-usable if I get a newer laptop later. I think you are right though that it's not worth messing with adapters.
I dunno if there's such a thing as a reliable brand. The brands have reliable and unreliable models. Particularly I have the idea that I should be avoiding QLC drives, but that TLC these days is ok.
Samsung, WD, Seagate, Corsair...etc. Just not a random no-name brand. Poke around the Backblaze stats to get a good idea.
