For those who have this question: When you adapt a Nmve (PCIe) to an standard SATA conector, the speed of the Nmve will decrease to te maximum of a SATA III speed, wich is 600mb/s.
Thanks for the technical description of each one. Something to clarify, using NVMe drives has a higher performance because it uses the PCIe bus lane. The CPU can access this bus lane faster than on a SATA specification.
Thank you for demonstrating the differences with actual SSDs. I was having a hard time wrapping my mind around them by just reading. Having visual references definitely help!
Finally! A video that explains it all! Thank you! And an added bonus where I was also going to look up how to convert NVMe into 2.5 SATA for cloning my OS. You sir, are a saint!
there is no use of using NVMe in a SATA adapter as it SATA has AHCI interface and the NVMe card is made for PCIe interface. SATA has limit of 6Gbps. so it is bettter to buy SSD sata drive for cloning metal drives.
@@ellwalenndhejunny3229 It doesn't matter what is inside the box. The whole thing is determined by the connector to the computer, in this case it's SATA. So you only get SATA quality and not (as suggested) NVME quality. So that at least this "project" can work, the box must have the ability to translate NVME to SATA and vice versa what always goes on cost of speed performance. In the end you won't have even full SATA speed or the box is that much high in price for a hardware coded solution to get the SATA speed goal. Mostly it's an software emulation, i think. Just my 2 pence.
A little late, but in case anyone asks the same question today. You are probably better off getting an NVMe to USB adapter. Those are also the base for many external SSDs and absolutely prooven and cheap technology. I much prefer USB for such purposes because I can also use my Notebook to recover stuff from my PC.
Easy enough. If you can support NVME try to find a good module on sale. I remember when a CD-ROM drive was $300 (that one could not write either) now you can get then dirt cheap if you search enough
the difficulty I had understanding yr words with yr thick accent was more than made up for by your to-the-point, consise, well detailed explanations with lots of visuals an examples. Well Done, and thank you
watched a few other breakdowns yet still the confusion between PCIe and NVMe grew more and more as i have a high end but somewhat one or 2 gen older laptop but wasn't sure what type it supported till i watched your video so thank you. NVMe is the one i need to get -
I would agree with most comments that the video gives a detailed description of the difference between the m2. SATA AND THE M2. NVME, also the various ways to confirm with your machine. Saved me alot of time ans worry that i was in, for the purchase. Thanks alot. This is worth a Sub and checking your content!!
Excellent video. No mention of the PCIe 4.0 or the diffrence between x2 and x4 connections but I think most people care more for the connector types. Nice that you showed both the BIOS & the adaptors. It would of been nice to see a PCIe adaptor card for NVMe, and maybe the USB-C drives you can also throw them into. - excellent work.
I already know about these by reading a lot of blog, spec sheet and watching many RUclips videos. BUT your video is summary of all. (With the exception of 3.5" SSHD). BRAVO!
Umm . . or to see the choices for their existing gear, ability to upgrade or not, using a backup older p.c., , Keep in mind we all got along fine 10-15 years ago.
I rarely subscribe to any RUclips channel. But the in depth explanation and your detailed knowledge about it made me consider subscribing to your channel. You must be an absolute professional and also expert at making/editing videos.
Thanks for the video. I just purchased a new laptop last week that has an M.2 NVMe drive and it loads things noticeably faster than my previous laptop with a 2.5" SATA 3 SSD. I was wondering why that and your video explained the differences nicely.
This was very helpful. I bought an SATA M.2 thinking that NVME was not compatible for my laptop. Checked after I watched this video that my laptop does support M.2 NVME.
Thanking you for creating this video. Excellent video, especially on the difference between M.2 connection for SATA and NVME SSDs, as well as various connections for different SSDs.
this video is extremely useful as I'm having issues with my m.2 and couldn't figure out why both functional drives won't work on my first motherboard slot, just knowing both type of ssds are compatible solved my issues and I think I just need an 11th gen Intel for that specific slot to function after reading the motherboard info again. dropped a sub and a like
Really helpful in understanding the difference between M.2 NVME and M.2 SATA. The laptop I got my son has M.2 SATA but I was unsure of compatibility differences, before watching your video.
That was AWESOME I have been looking to upgrade my laptop and was getting confused with the different drives that were needed for different machines. This really cleared it up. THANKS
Very nice, fair and understandable compilation. The only thing I missed from the end is that there is an adapter card that can be used to plug the m.2 nvme card directly into the pci express 16 slot. Thank you!
@@GeorgeDooling It can be used for other things and is, but for the general consumer it's mostly used for wifi. IIRC there are also some ethernet adapters amd usb adapters as well as other things.
Great video my friend this is really helpful! You deserve an award for explaining so well all the types, interfaces, speeds & etc. I am adding this to my favourites!
Super video. Very impressive, the way you have put in the content so elegantly with examples. This video will demystify everything around the topic. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent explanation, my board evidently has both an M socket and a B socket and yet I got two nvme type M drives and was both confused and disappointed as I thought an M.2 Socket is an M.2 socket. This video cleared things up.
This is technologically useful. I would recommend this video to my acquaintances and my sibling. I would love to watch again because it includes lifehack like that m.2 will make into sata disk.
@@DarrenC_1024 no idea, I've not lived in every region of the world, neither have you. That's why I said "maybe", I allow for regional differences in syntax, I'm not narrow minded.
@@adrianmack3 so, you are just arguing for arguing's sake? And based your argument on things that you don't even know if it exists? Well, in my region (and I'm sure most other regions) we call this nonsense talking.
@How-FixIT Thanks for a very clear and comprehensive explanation :) And kudos for taking the time to make Your videos and sharing Your knowledge. Best regards
Wow. Awesome video. Just what i needed. Thank you. I am googling and watching RUclips like crazy to really learn about m.2 of different types, according to a pdf file with the specsheet of my Lenovo Legion 5 17ACH6H my model have 1 slot for m.2 pci-e nvme 2242 ssd and 1 slot for m.2 pci-e nvme 2280 ssd. I liked and subscribed.
Awesome video. I have been in a panic thinking that my M.2 drive with a B+M key wouldn't fit into a Nvme slot, but thankfully it does. Thank you for clearing that up.
To further complicate things there's also mPCIe, which wasn't even mentioned. This is basically the PCIe version of the mSATA form factor. So there's actually mPCIe and mSATA, and their more modern counterparts M.2 PCIe (NVMe) and M.2 SATA.
Thank You! I almost bought a nvme m.2 ssd tho the laptop has slot for mSATA. I totally forgot about it and got confused. This was a nice and clearly explained video.
For those who have this question: When you adapt a Nmve (PCIe) to an standard SATA conector, the speed of the Nmve will decrease to te maximum of a SATA III speed, wich is 600mb/s.
is there a way to change its speed??
@@fadis1011 No, but there Is a few options on Windows 10 to make it a little smoothier. You can't change the Speed of a Port.
@@fadis1011 No man, you can't change it unless you use another port
How about adapt NVM to msata? Is that also limited to 600mb/s?
@@fadis1011 maybe m.2 to usb adapter will do

Thanks for the video. I just purchased a new laptop last week that has an M.2 NVMe drive and it loads things noticeably faster than my previous laptop with a 2.5" SATA 3 SSD. I was wondering why that and your video explained the differences nicely.
It could also be due to newer generation of CPU and Chipset.

That awesome background music is just right along with the volume of it.
Yes, but option to turn it off would help. Life is about choosing. Why can't the tech companies make option to turn off music in such videos? Why?

To add to the confusion, NVME 2x cards also have M+B key, same as SATA while not being compatible.
