What's the difference between PCIe, M2 and NVMe with an M2 interface?

AIUI, you can have M2 SATA and M2 PCIe?

What then is "normal" PCIe?

I see various things offered on Amazon

(going to get a friend who lives in the gigantic lunatic asylum known
as the USA to buy a machine for me - when he ever comes back - his
mother is in a home and he won't be able to visit even if he does come
now...)

and I'd like to know what I'm getting...

I'm a database nerd, so faster disk access is the holy grail...
graphics and CPU... meh...

Some of the machines have a SATA 2.5' drive bay and an M2 slot - I got
one of these (spinning rust HDD and empty M2 - put an SSD in 2.5' bay
and an M2 SATA drive (no point in getting PCIe for a SATA compatible
slot) and it hums - but I'd like to try the "fully monty" of "pure"
PCIe NVMe...


Videmo se,
