Feb 29, 2024 · I'm wondering is whether it'd be better/makes more sense by installing one or more NVMe drives on a 16x PCI-E M.2 expansion card (such as a Asus Hyper M.2 x16 PCI-E 4.0 Get 4 Expansion Card) (because less cable management to deal with) or just using a regular 2.5" SATA SSD in order to maintain the overall fastest read/write speeds possible (I ...

Aug 6, 2020 · A SSD has a controller and generally multiple NAND chips. The controller gets hot and needs to be cooled, while the NAND needs to be warm in order to function correctly. The heat spreader label on the drive serves to move heat from the controller to the NAND chips, so the controller doesn't overheat and the NAND stay warm.

Apr 24, 2022 · The SSD will not properly mount to the board without a screw or some sort of push pin. This means a strong chance (almost 100%) of the pins on the drive not making proper connection to the board.

Feb 26, 2023 · Hello, I never dealt with Apple laptops, but my friend wants to buy a MacBook Air (M2). The cheapest option is 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD. If he wants to buy the 16GB and 512GB SSD version, that would cost extra $420. But I think that's really expensive...? Is it easy to upgrade the RAM and SSD on Mac...

Feb 18, 2022 · Recently bought a low level gaming PC. Only issue is the existing NVME SSD doesn't give a lot of storage space for multiple games. So I purchased a Samsung 980 PRO 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD and a ROG Aurion Enclosure. Installed a few games but found it was pretty bad when playing with a lot laggi...

Mar 29, 2021 · I recently bought an intel 665p ssd and realized that it doesn't come with a screw and in my country it's hard to find any of that size. I searched for any compatible screws and guess who was the winner? A pencil sharpener.

Jan 15, 2022 · In order to install/remove an M.2, I'd have to take out the GPU, take off the board cover, install the SSD, and put everything back into place. Add in the fact that the GPU is water cooled, it takes me well over an hour in order to service an M.2 SSD, where as running the cables and installing a SATA SSD takes about 5 minutes.
