Q: 9. Cannot decide between Samsung 970 EVO Plus and Crucial 250GB P2 NVMe PCIe M.2 Internal SSD to upgrade HP 14-df0023cl laptop. Specs show that Samsung (5.0 W (Active) and 8.0 W (Active) draw more power than Crusial ( 150.00 mW (Active) and 2500.00 mW (Max). I am afraid the battery will be discharged faster with Samsung. Any recommendations ?
