SSD M.2 NVME - Modern PC Storage

Post by Clarity »

For the last 5-6 years the storage capacity, performance, and motherboard changes have increased significantly.

Many, today, continue to make mistakes in what they buy for their envisioned PC upgrades.

Thought this to be worthy statement

When you buy your next SSD, pay attention both to its form factor and the interface it uses to communicate with the computer. Its specifications should match both the slots and the interfaces available on your motherboard.

If you see an SSD being described as NVMe, do not assume that it is automatically using the M.2 form factor.

And, if you see an SSD described as being M.2, don't assume that it is using NVMe. Pay attention to its detailed specifications before deciding what to buy and whether it will work to your satisfaction.

FYI
