No, I don't think that will happen. I think you will see both types of disks on the same machine. One internal for the system and home, others for large storage.
Then there is need for external storage.
Yes, but there are already MS Surface PCs with a NVMe drive internally and a single USB port.
No exposed sata at all. In a few years I can easily envision motherboards for desktops with zero sata ports.
Maybe just one for an optical drive?
I'm not saying good or bad about that. It's just reality that NVMe will replace sata for a lot of PC users in the next few years. As I said, I already see it routinely in my clients PCs. I've had my hands on about 15 client owned PCs in the last month. 3 had NVMe based primary storage (all laptops).
