My legion 5 17imh05h has an extra unused m.2 slot. A few other models of legion 5 have been documented to work well with 2nd m.2. I tested size with my existing m.2 and I think it fits well? There is no shielding though, is this fine? (note I might not have fully screwed in) I would like to put a 2tb singlesided NVME 2280 M.2 SSD in it. I want one that isnt too thick because I might get a framework 16 next. What brands are good for gaming? Good speed and reliability, I do not want lost save data. Ideally one purchasable on amazon.ca as I am Canadian and need it soon(have prime). I don't want to be without this computer for long but really want to avoid opening and closing it a bunch of times as I don't want to strip screws and risk breaking the clips. Thank you!

Summary APACER/Zadak has announced the world's first consumer-grade PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 SSD, which are capable of up to 13,000MB/sec (13GB/sec) reads and up to 12,000MB/sec (12GB/sec) writes. The new APACER and Zadak PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSDs are available in two versions: the standard APACER design, and then a ZADAK one (which looks virtually the same). Both of the new PCIe 5.0-ready SSDs support the latest NVMe 2.0 standard, with reads of up to 13GB/sec and writes of up to 12GB/sec on both drives. Quotes My thoughts Boy do these drives fly! I know for most real world use cases this is all but useless, but still cool tech nonetheless. One of those things you don't need, but definitely want. I'm quite impressed with the performance of my Gen4 NVMe SSD, and these drives offer more than double the speed I'm getting with mine (crazy stuff). I'm guessing when more drives like these hit the market, Gen4 drives will drop in price; which will be good for new buyers. No word on pricing for these drives yet, but I imagine they aren't going to be cheap.

Phison's reference SSD reaches sequential read rates of over 12 GB/s in CrystalDiskMark and sequential write speeds of 10 GB/s. Phison's proof-of-concept SSD has a PCB and connector footprint incompatible with M.2 2280 slots. SSDs based on Phison's PS5026-E26 controller is slated to ship later this year, with AMD's 600-series chipsets for its AM5 platform.

Currently I am running a gigabyte z390 m gaming motherboard. I have had a sabrent m.2 installed in the m2p slot in my motherboard and it has worked since I've owned it. Now I've installed a Samsung 970 evo plus in the m2q slot in my motherboard. It should be able to run a pcie m.2 in that slot as I only have one sata cord plugged in and it's plugged into SATA 5. I believe the sata slots that mess with things are SATA 1 and SATA 2. Anyways does anyone know why this is happening. The Samsung 970 evo plus does not even show up in my bios. I saw things about activating that slot but I could not find anything related to it in the bios. Any help would be appreciated and thank you in advance for any time that you spend helping me out! I added the Manuel down below Sincerely, Yodog5243mb_manual_z390-m-gaming_v1_e (1).pdf

So I am looking into getting more storage for my laptop (HP spectre 15" 2019, with these external ports) and I'm trying to decide between a more 'mainstream' solution in just an external SSD or if I should get an M.2 SSD and enclosure. I mainly want to put games on it from steam/epic games store in order to free up more room on my internal SSD (i.e. leave the SSD on my desk to play games and have storage free internally for when I take my laptop with me for classes). I'm not super familiar with all of the different names and how everything works, but this is kinda what I was thinking when I say external enclosure (not sure how common these are). I had also seen some that had built in docks that I thought I could use with my second monitor - Sabrent USB 3.2 Type-C Tool-Free Enclosure for M.2 PCIe NVMe and SATA SSDs - this is the ssd w/ hub, but I'd rather avoid Kickstarter The other option would be something like this from Best Buy or Amazon or something - Samsung - T7 500GB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable Solid State Drive Those are just examples to show what I was talking about, so I am VERY open to different suggestions about it just trying not to break the bank on it lol. I was also thinking it could be possible to replace my laptops 500gb SSD with a 1TB one and put the old one in the enclosure. I've never done anything like this so any advice/recommendations would be amazing, thanks!!

This is a peculiar problem I have run into. I searched but couldn't find so had to make a post here. The m.2 SSD shows in the boot list as it's serial number CT500P1SSD8 (image attached) But when I go into the Advanced Drive Configuration the M.2 shows as Empty (image attached) I ran a compatibility test here https://www.crucial.in/ssd/eol_p1/ct500p1ssd8 and that says that it is compatible. What do I do?

Hey, I have questions regarding m.2 ssd, My HP Pavilion laptop (15-bc406tx) has m.2 slot, manual doesn't specify which type of slot is it. But in the manual, they show support for m.2 SATA sdd 128 Gb plus support for Intel optane memory of 16 Gb Pcie gen 3x2. My Questions are: Does that mean, my laptop support M.2 nvme ssd's, as it supports Intel optane memory of 16 Gb Pcie gen 3x2; cause they haven't mentioned m.2 nvme ssd in manual. Also which Gen of Pcie is it? 3x2 or 3x4? What if it supports M.2 Nvme Sdd's with Gen 3x2, what happens if we put 3x4 in it? is it recommended? Stated(in manual) M.2 SATA ssd low, can we add 1Tb ssd instead of 128Gb? Thank You!

Hi everyone, I hope you're have an amazing day. TLDR: I want to install a SSD (Samsung 860 EVO 250GB SATA M.2 (2280)) in my HP 15 Laptop (HP 15 BS145TU) in the supported empty slot. But I want to migrate only Windows 10 on the new SSD and leave the Ubuntu on old HDD drive partition. So, my laptop has 1TB HDD. I've partitioned the drive into 3 parts 200 GB : Windows 10 installed 200 GB : Ubuntu 20.04 installed 600 GB : For storage Now I want to clone my Windows 10 into the new SSD drive and boot Windows 10 from the new SSD drive and leave the Ubuntu drive as it is. So while I turn on my laptop, I should be able to see both boot choices and if I select Windows 10, it should boot from new SSD and the Ubuntu should boot from the old partition that it was installed on. I've seen all the setup guide for installing new SSD and how to clone (via Samsung Data migration tool) and change boot order for windows 10 in BIOS so that it will boot from new SSD. The question is, do I need to take care of anything special in case of dual boot? How do I change the BIOS boot options in case of Dual boot? Also, I'm planning to upgarde my RAM as well. Is Crucial CT8G4SFS824A 8GB DDR4-2400 PC4-19200 CL-17 SODIMM RAM supported? (Link for Laptop manual is in below attached thread) I'm attaching screenshots of for your consideration My current bios settings (without new SSD installation) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rA-a4VwKOzatIG_8LopdQ0aAxfINKD2p/view?usp=sharing The memory information for RAM from manual: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10XbBAmWJRGBTxu_CG_1bN48eIagB4FzC/view?usp=sharing Additoinal information: Laptop: HP 15-BS145TU The laptop has a seperate SSD slot for M.2 SSD Laptop manual: New SSD Model: Samsung 860 EVO 250GB SATA M.2 (2280) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-N6E250) The SSD is supported in my laptop. Here is a thread link for the same : (Link of manual is also in this thread)

Hi everyone who sees this. This is my first "Topic" post on here so be gentle. LoL Ok, so anyway, how should someone go about switching from a SSD(Operating System) + HDD(Mass Storage) to using a single m2 SSD? I should probably mention I moved some of the Windows User folders like "Documents" and "Downloads" to the HDD. I know it has become somewhat of "the norm" to have a SSD(OS)+HDD(Mass Storage) setup and there are plenty of guides on optimizing for this type of setup but I can't seem to find a guide on switching from the SSD+HDD to a single m2 SSD. I recently Came across a great deal from a friend on a couple Sandisk 1TB SATA m.2 SSD's (I think they are X600's maybe) and I want to install one of them and a standard 2.5" SSD (WD Blue 3D 500GB) to replace my older TeamGroup L5 Lite 120GB SSD and Toshiba 7200rpm 1TB HDD. I haven't fully decided on which drive I want to use as my OS/Boot drive yet as I can't seem to find any info on how to do this without a huge hassle. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

A friend of mine is looking forward to build his new desktop pc and wants to put his C drive on a 240-256 GB m.2 ssd as the motherboard of his choice has one m.2 pcie/sata slot. The best solution according to my little knowledge is to go with samsung 970 evo. But that thing is currently very expensive (about 100$) in my region due to market shortage (other ssd brands are at normal price). Can somebody tell me any alternative from any other brand that would give similar performance and reliability ( dram cache, good controller etc.)? He wants to invest that budget to a better mobo ( b450 mortar max to the tomahawk)

Hi I'm looking to buy a new gaming pc and I was wondering if I should buy a larger but slower Kingston drive like in the picture or a faster but smaller Samsung like in the photo as an boot drive for my OS. I mostly will be gaming so tell me your opinion on the matter. I don't care about the price difference I hope you guys can help me out. Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone, I just upgraded my system with new M.2 SSD (nvme 250gb Samsung evo plus) and i was able to install windows 10 x64 on it and after installation everything was running smooth. Also while installing windows on M.2 SSD I physically removed all my other storage device from motherboard (sata ssd and hdd). Then i restarted my pc and i got a error blue screen so i did hard restart (from cabinet button) and went into bios to see if my motherboard is detecting the M.2 SSD or not. My board recognizes the M.2 storage in "Onboard device configuration" and also in boot selection menu (the one which comes when you press F8). The strange part is that my boot order is showing only my WD HDD with Windows manager written with it and when i tried to configure boot options from motherboard bios options i can only see my Sata SSD and Sata HDD, i can't find the option to choose M.2 as my primary boot device. I tried everything which i knew and now i have no clues what to do. Note - I never installed windows on my HDD, i used to have windows on my ssd which i completely formatted after installing OS on M.2 and now it's being used as storage device. I am able to boot windows and able to use my PC when i choose M.2 from boot selection menu (by pressing F8 on bios) screen. Please help me because i want to use M.2 as my primary boot as it is super fast and makes my life easy while using my PC. It is so frustrating to always go to bios and select the M.2 from there and then boot. Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi guys looking for a little help , im having this weird lag issues with windows 10 which started about a week ago, and i have been trying to sort it since. So the machine is working fine and all of a sudden it lags, whilst that could be moving a window, playing a game, or on a skype call. Games jitter when it happens , camera goes on like a catch up lag mode, and everything else is like a slow snap when it kicks back to normal. I have only changed 1 thinking in the machine the last week or so since it started happening. I upgraded from a Ryzen 2600 to the 2700x (Checked the board can take it) , someone suggested to check my m.2 and this is where it got a little weird. So bellow is the m.2 ssd itself, its the sabrent 1tb rocket (i know its a cheaper brand). The image on the left with the high write speeds are the day i got it, new install of windows, snappy. Image on the right is the speeds today, reads seem better, writes have went all over the place ( i dont know if thats normal, but thought worth mentioning) Full machine specs are Windows 10 pro build 1909 Ryzen 7 2700x (no overclock / temps max at about 75) Cryrig m9a (single fan( Asrock b450m Pro4 motherboard (latest bios, updated this to 3.90 prior to cpu upgrade 16gb Corsair vengeance ddr4 (2400mhz dual channel kit 2x8gb) Nvidia 1070 evga sc (not overclocked) 1TB Samsung 7200rpm drive Connected i have - Hdmi - 29 Lg ultrawide -Display port - 24 inch benq - usb 3 - Mionix mechanical keyboard, with usb hub (2 usb cables) -The logitech g502 is connected directly to this -Usb 3 - western digital external hard drive -Ubs 3 - Skull candy usb headset -Ethernet to powerline for internet - Usb 3 hub (3 usb 3 ports and card reader, nothing ever really conencted ) Nothing else connected altho i sometimes use a usb audio adapter, and my phone Webroot and malware bytes found nothing, all windows updates are done. The pc boots with only a handful of things enabled. Im at a loss. I tried to record a gameplay video and stream on twitch and it was just so laggy, dropping frames. Didnt do that a week or so ago.

I bought a WD Black SN750 M.2 SSD and when I installed it, I went to check if itd show up in bios, and my mouse and keyboard dont do anything. Temps are still adjusting themselves but I cant do anything in it. If I hit f12 a menu pops up (only option is to hit cancel) and i can move my mouse then, but it immediately gets stuck in place after hitting cancel. I can boot into windows and everything works fine except I dont see my SSD in Drives. I'm using a MSI B450 TOMAHAWK non max. It hasn't had a bios update since I got it but that's because I dont own a flash drive to do it. It says my bios version is E7C02AMS.170 from 03/06/19. My ram has been OCd to 3200 for a long time before this. I have two hard drives besides the SSD, and I know Sata ports 5/6 get turned off when you use the M.2 slot, but my Harddrives are in slots 3/4 so it should be fine there If anyone could tell me a solution (if I need to update bios I can get a flash drive but I'd prefer free solutions at best) that would be great

As the title says, I want to upgrade my old rig by replacing my HDD with an SSD. I want to make sure I don't buy something that is not compatible, so here's the question. Is this motherboard compatible with using an m.2 NVMe SSD as my boot drive? If it is, what m.2 drive should I get?

So I am building my first PC this Christmas. I got an asus tuf x570 plus motherboard and I have now been looking at M.2 SSDs. I was wondering if I need to buy my SSD with a heat sink or if my motherboard comes with one? Are SSD heatsinks really necessary? The SSD I have been looking at is: Western Digital black SN750 NVME M.2 500GB I am not sure if this is the right place to post this question. If not could you point me to another website I could use?
