You are probably aware but this once confused me so in case anyone else is wondering: these M.2 wifi slots are usually only 1 PCIe lane, as opposed to a normal motherboard M.2 which would be 4 PCIe lanes. A usual M.2 NVMe SSD would be able to make use of 4 lanes and would be constrained by 1 lane. A native SATA SSD also would probably be feaster, but an M.2 SATA on a single lane which would be limited to about 600MB/s is obviously still much faster than a HDD.
