M.2 SSD recommendation and help

[ThatTenshiTales]

hi all

 

im looking at upgrading my setup i currently have Kingston A2000 (SA2000M8/500G) SSD NVMe PCIe M.2 2280, 500 GB   (in ROG strix B500-F if this helps)

amazon currently have -WD_BLACK 1TB SN770 M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe Gaming SSD up to 5150 MB/s read speed  on offer for £65 is this adequate to change to if i get 2?

 

how would i go about swapping my data from old ssd to  a new one more efficiently as i think windows boots off it?

any tips and tricks i should know or different drives ? 

 

thank you

If your M.2 slot is PCIe Gen 4 supported... then no problem...
Is it possible for you to first install fresh Windows in your new SSD and then migrate your files from old SSD??
As the old SSD may contain "Bloatware" and will affect your performance... Your new SSD will give you better performance.... as its faster than your old SSD...
