Is SATAe really useful? Is it really worth it to splurge an extra 40$ with the same specifications with the SATAe being the only difference? Can I even fucking use the 16GB/s hardware today or even in the future?

Where did you find a satae drive?

SATAe is just a specification for having a PCIe-based drive without having it connected straight to the board.
Mostly just useful for servers, where you would want to swap drives in and out from the front. For a desktop, it's way easier to just stick a drive in an M.2 or normal PCIe slot.

It's NOT used in servers, they use NVMe. It only uses a connector similar to SAS/Sata! This allows SAS or NVMe drivers in the same hotswap bay. There are M.2 to NVMe Adapters (PCIe part only) to connect SSDs with an internal NVMe cable.
With M.2 (consumer) and NVMe (server) SATAe is dead in the water and a waste of money.

I think you're confused. NVMe is a protocol that runs over PCIe, so NVMe can run over a plain PCIe slot, M.2, SATAe, or that new SFF conector.

E-sata it's pretty based on laptops that have it.
