Best M 2 Ssd Drive

This works great with the SSD M.2 Drive

Amazing boot up speed difference between this M.2 drive versus the 2 1/2 SSD in my old computer.

Solid drive. Exclusive samsung ssd and m.2 user for 15 years.

Five m.2 ssd expansion

I am using this enclosure with the PNY Technologies CS1030 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD for my Macbook Pro as an external SSD for photo file storage. The enclosure is well built and feels sturdy. Assembly was incredibly easy and took about 30 seconds. I am normally saving 5-10GB of data to the drive at a time and the enclosure barely gets warm. I am extremely happy with both of these products and it was less than buying an off-the-shelf SSD drive. Using the Black Magic disk speed test, I am getting Write/Read speeds of 892Mbps / 528Mbps. This is with the drive about 10% full. The read speed seems to slow down slightly as the memory fills up. I believe it was closer to 800Mbps when the drive was empty.

SSD's make a laptop with a hard drive appear much faster. Some desktops and laptops are fitted with an M.2 SSD that is too small to be practical. Since SSD prices have come down so much over the years, upgrades are economical. When upgrading a laptop, you clone the existing drive onto the new M.2 SSD inserted in this enclosure and swap the two. Or you add the new M.2 SSD into a previously unoccupied slot. This enclosure makes it possible. And in the rare case the drive cloning did not succeed, nothing is lost. An essential part of your computer toolkit.

Very fast SSD. Way faster than previous SATA M.2 drive - and that was really good, too! I am pleased with this purchase.

This is an upgrade from my previous SATA SSD. I did a clone of that drive and copied it onto this M.2 SSD and everything went perfectly. The speed of the need drive is impressive and everything loads quickly even with an Intel i5 processor.

Samsung 2TB 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD with Heatsink Windows 11 I've installed this in an ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero (Wi-Fi) Z390 Gaming Motherboard as the system drive. It runs 10 to 15 degrees C. cooler than the Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 SSD that it replaced because of bad block and LBA errors. The drive installed and functions great. You can't use the Asus motherboard heatsink with this, so the screw will be too long. I punched the small silver insert out of the old heatsink and used it over the screw as a spacer and tightened gently. Samsung Magician initially didn't fully function with this drive, but after 3 or 4 updates one after the other, (Version 7.0.1.630) the drive is fully recognized.

This is easy, just get it if you are looking for a fast M.2 SSD. I'm using it as a scratch drive for photos and videos, but this is an amazing value for what you are getting. Note, I would not get this for the PS5, as the required speed doesn't quite meet the console's requirements.
