The 2.5" EVO 860 has the same form factor as the small HDDs and is screwed into/with the enclosure in the classic way, and then connected with a power cable and SATA cable.
The M.2 2280 EVO 970 is screwed directly onto a suitable mainboard without cables. Due to the PCI-E connection, it has higher write and read rates. See specifications.
