Thank you! 10 minutes of clearly explained information is going to save me hours of browsing Amazon trying to figure out the difference in what all seemed to be (at the time) near identical drives.
@ronnie cliburn blizzard updated that saying that an SSD isn’t required, though yeah the load times are soooo much faster, it takes me like a solid minute to load into the game using my HDD
It's no secret that you are tracked online and your information is sold to other companies. You buy on amazon, amazon sells your interest information to google and BAM what you are interested in shows up on youtube.
First class guidance! Many thanks. One point is that you can save a lot of time by cloning your existing drive onto the SSD. This transfers the operating system, programs and data. I partitioned my existing HD and shifted the data to drive E. Then I cloned only drive C to the new SSD and later transferred the data.
If you just want to game primarily, get either a crucial or WD 2.5 inch. Pretty much all SSDs (including NVME) have very similar load times. You may save two seconds with an NVME, but it's not worth the premium that you pay. M.2 may be the same price as 2.5-inch SSDs now, so you can go that route, too. Remember that m.2 can be SATA or PCI. Get the SATA; don't waste your money on NVME if you're just gaming. NVME is better suited to video editing and large file transfers
@@primeribgaming2681 yeah those are all good. Problem is that the 860 is still a lot more than the others (or, it was last I checked, anyway). That's why I didn't include Samsung. 2TB for the 860 Evo was 500 CAD; it was only around 370 for 2TB for Crucial's MX500.
I have a question. I have an older spec pc and unfortunently the motherboard dosent support m.2 SSDs. However i do want to get an ssd to improve speeds of pretty much everything since i will be trying out some sort of video editing. I am absolutely not sticking with an hdd. I was looking at a couple 2.5" SSDs and i came across wd blue and green. The minimum capacity i can accept is 240gb. Which one is more worth it ?
Pro tip: The next time you have a mobo on a table and use it for demonstrating slotting something in (or out), make sure it is stable, e.g. rest it on a foam block or a folded towel :) It is quite awkward to watch your mobo rocking back and forth on its corners!
Lots of the jargon he was using was doing little more than making the subject unnecessarily obscure, basically all most consumers need to know is that there are a few main types of ssds and if you're looking to buy one just keep in mind what your motherboard can physically support. The most common ssd is a sata ssd, and you can basically upgrade to one from a hdd directly by just plugging in the power and sata cables from the hard drive, then there is pcie sata, which uses a pcie slot but is just as slow as a sata ssd, and a pcie m.2 drive, which uses a pcie slot and will be faster than a sata protocol drive. For pcie drives just make sure like he said that the drive you buy is supported, but most consumers will be well served by a decent sata ssd, just make sure it isn't some hyper obscure Chinese knock off and you'll probably be golden. And try to leave as much free space on it as possible to preserve its life span, its best to just have the os, essential programs, etc; that you want to run fast on the ssd and have everything else on a hdd.
Just upgraded my HP Elitebook from a 320GB HD to a 250GB SSD.....reduced the boot time down to 30seconds for a Windows 10 machine. It also increases battery life as the fan isn't working as hard.
Why didn't he mention the difference between M.2 SATA and M.2 NVME. you need an NVME supported motherboard if you get an NVME drive. Also the NVME drive has 1 notch in it. The SATA M.2 has 2 notches and is much much much much slower.
Thanks for the heads up on the NVME motherboard support info. I have a 6 year old gaming PC that I am going to add a 1 terabyte M.2 using a M.2 PCIE card adapter and put it in a PCIE X 4 slot. I was going to get a Samsung NVME M.2 stick. You saved me money and a lot of time trying to figure out why it's not working.
I own late 2013 I Mac 21.5. This video was definitely a part of what I needed to know regarding an SSD. I'm highly interested in the WD Black SN750 2TB NVMe Internal Gaming SSD [I'm a music producer, not a gamer] for my Mac, I was told by a technician that this drive WILL work for my mac so I decided to start shopping around for the best prices, each and every store I contacted including Geek Squad's Best Buy assured me that this SSD will NOT be compatible for my I Mac. I'm looking for either a 2 TB or 4 TB. **Any Suggestions**?
I have a very important question haha. I know that an ssd is perfection for the operating system and other programs in the initial build. My question is for my games and photos does it matter if I buy an SSD or HDD? I heard that having a game on an SSD runs faster than a HDD; but is it going to make it any better. I have an nvme ssd that’s 500 gb for my operating system and an HDD for games and other stuffs. I want to upgrade my HDD but I am not sure if I should go for an SSD or HDD. I want to make lots of space and combine what I have now with the new SSD(if needed) or HDD. Mmm, one last question would be could I fuse an SSD with an HDD(I think you can but hey asking questions is the best way to become more intelligent)
Compare a car from 1962 to one from today. Will the newer car get you to your destination any better? The new one may be more efficient and maybe more comfortable, but they both can do the same job. Your configuration is already the best of both worlds, so the only reason to upgrade would be if you just want the newer drive.
I hate when videos say it's everything you need to know but say stuff like "in order to do this, you'll need to know which of that you have" and then completely leave out how to tell what that thing is.
Hi, why does the sata M.2 SSD connector has 2 gaps in it but the slot on the motherboard only has 1 notch ? Isn't that weird, because it means some pins of the slot are useless where the gap is on the SSD connector...?
Still trying to figure out if my asrock fatal1ty z170 gaming k6+ will support an nvme or not the manual says it supports Key type 2230/2242/2260/2280/22110 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s) but those numbers aren't in any Amazon listing
Ye ssd does gets wear off due to writing of data.. A typical Samsung 256 GB SSD. Claims it can hav 144 tb of data written over it before it gets damaged. Like u copy 1 gb of data to it delete it. 1024 times a gb and ur 1tb data written. So 144 tb is a lot I guess. 1 gb ssd would easily last over 5 yrs.. Search go tbw life tb written life.
Think of it like tires on your car: the rougher the roads the faster they wear. The more you drive, the faster they wear. It doesn't matter the type of tire.
I have an older quad core AMD PC that I am wanting to speed up . I am considering a SSD / SATA of about 500gb , to replace my C"/ hard drive . I see units advertised for laptops . Will these work OK in desk top PCs ? Thanks , :-) Happy New Year Wyr God bless
Watch the video. He already state interface and type. Any drive for a laptop will fit in a desktop, but not the other way around. That's why they're advertising for laptop.
If you put a PCIE M.2 into a SATA bus though... it’ll still work, right? Just only at the SATA speeds and not the x3 or x4 of the PCIE lane. I think....
As long as the slot is compatible. Not all M.2 slots are cross compatible, like on an ASUS Maximus Hero motherboard. The first slot under the Heat Sink in the middle of the board supports both SATA & NVMe, but the second slot on the bottom-right of the board only supports NVMe; so you'll have to look up the compatibility under your physical manual or the website, which should have the digital version.
i recently bought an HP 14-dk0024wm laptop,. you can upgrade the memory and add a 2.5 ssd internally,. it also has a SSD M.2 2280 SATA storage it came with,. my question is when i opened it, the bus showed that it could potentially fit a M.2 NvME stick because the bus has the one notch,. yet my stick is the SATA M.2 version,. my concern is that if i got the Nvme stick it wouldn't work even tho it would fit,. i can't find really much on it,. HP website doesn't even acknowledge anything about upgrading the laptop,. just looking for some help!! thanks
My notebook laptop is ASUS X200CA memory 2gb .processor is INTEL Celeron is1007U @ 1.5GHz working very slow always hang for 5minutes i want to upgrade this but i see in you tube that the MEMORY RAM fixed solded on board no chance to upgrade ' how about if i upgrade the HDD to SSD it is possible i want your advice
At the very end he says that small, cheap systems use a "EMMC" drive, or something like that. Does that mean you can't upgrade? Or is he referring to the upgrade you need? I'm confused and pretty sure my system is as cheap and slow as it gets.
DO YOU GET A SATA SSD CABLE WHEN YOU BUY AN SSD? OR DO YOU HAVE TO BUY AN EXTRA SATA SSD CABLE if u dont have a spare cable. i'm looking to change my HDD to my new SSD... and looking to clone my HDD boot drive to SSD without.. needing an extra Cable to work like that.
You can usually find this out by looking at the part of the box that says "contents," but odds are it only has a cable to connect it to the computer itself.
so i just have a question: currently i have a 500 gb ssd sata 2.5” and i was wondering if that was enough. is it? i also was wondering if i would need a different m.2 ssd (like the long ones). would i?
I bought a good quality highly recommended SSD drive, Samsung 860 EVO to replace the disk drive in my HP laptop. Used an Apricorn SATA Wire upgrade kit (USB dongle with EZ Gig cloning software, easily copied from laptop to the SSD. Supposedly all I have to do is install the SSD into my laptop and off we go. No such luck. Even after updating the BIOS (from F.09 to F28) I can't get the computer to boot up on the new SSD. I've had a lot of practice swapping these drives back and forth. No luck. I can read all the files in the new SSD with the dongle plugged into the USB port, so the files are there. I just can't get my computer to recognize and boot from it when installed.
Kinda late but u need to activate them in the partition. Can look it up on here. Then transfer the os onto the ssd and go into the bios change the load order to make the ssd boot 1st.
I have a laptop which has the 16GB Optane Memory Cache using the M.2 connection.... If I disable and remove this, am I able to buy and use an M.2 SSD/NVME Drive in place of the HDD
you need to know which one is cheaper, cause they are all pretty much the same... and right now, they are pretty cheap when you compare them with what they used to cost just a year or two ago... I payed my first 120GB almost 100euro, and today you can buy 500GB for less, and much better speeds and quality... no need to play nice with them, copy-paste-delete as much as you want!!!
My mid 2010 MBP13 will not allow me to update software presently. My IOS is mountain lion. I upgraded RAM to 16 and now will be installing a crucial ssd. Once I do the install will i be able to update to the newest IOS?
run a program like speccy and it'll break out the motherboard configuration for you in all the details you need... you can match that up with product listings and know if you're good to go - or if you end up chatting online with their customer support and have the photo of that output so they can see it, they'll have everything they need to know. And in your case you can probably speak to them in a native language and be understood :D

Really likeable video with likeable Executive Editor, thanks for all the information
Not Everyone will Understand how informative this video is, You won't get to learn these kind of things in a Classroom

The m.2s are by far the best. Even though my 2015 MacBook Air is old with a slow CPU. It still runs fast thanks to the super fast hard drive.
Main thing is PCI Bus is much faster in compare to SSD Bus. so keep it in mind for m.2
