Its either M.2 PCIe "NVMe" or M.2 PCIe "SATA", but they are not the same thing. They are the same form factor, but have different "Keys" and very different speeds.
These are decent little machines, I have one I use for video processing. Similar setup to what you did here, except I also have a 4tb spin drive for storing finished files.
Thank you so much for this video. I had to install some RAM on a company provided PC and it helped immensely as I work at home and did this on my own. Yay!
I thought he was going to show us what goes in that blue slot at the top right near the power box, I have a similar desktop but have been wondering what goes there so I can purchase it then add it.
Is anyone having a problem with overheating of the SSD in M .2 slot in the Dell Optiplex 3050 small form factor I have several Dell Optiplex 3050s SFF i5-7500. When I checked the SSD installed in the M.2 slot with crystaldiskinfo, they all have a temperature problem with the m.2 slot. No problem with the cabled SATA 2.5 inch SSD. So far five out of the five I have checked the SSD in the m.2 slot has a high temperature.
i got the 3040 dell are they all ddr3l ram or is this one a bit newer i was wanting to upgrade my old pc will ddr3l c11 1600geh 135v ram work in my pc and will a gddr5 gt 1030 graphics card work in mine
Looking at buying a 3050 to upgrade into a gaming (ish) PC.......One American website I stumbled upon was selling these for $370, a SFF (small form factor) model with 8gb and 240 HDD..............then I found on a UK website a minitower 3050, again with 8gb but with 240 SSD for a mere £115........and what I found even crazier was the website stated how much they buy these computers for, and the company only pays people £29 for one. Who is selling these for £29??? Someone desperate I would imagine.
I just received my 3050 today I found your video quite useful and I'm about to order a M.2 to add to mine, do you know if a m.2 pcie x4 mvme will work? I'm looking at a 500GB WD Blue SN570 NVMe SSD Gen3 x4 PCIe and wonder if it'll be recognized.
I was wondering what model had m.2 and just bought one on ebay for $50... Only has 4gb ram and a 1tb hd with w10. I'll add ram and m.2 500gb. Keeping the hd for storage of music/video libraries, Maybe throw the mother board in my extra game case and use the 800wt psu and radeon card for some 3d cad work. poor old laptop is TOO slow 🥸🥸
the kingston KC2500 must be give you more speed / on my laptop the result show me 3189 read and 898 write you should update your firemware i think Good luck
"Crack on"? That's a new one to me! 🤣😀 Got a hold of 2 Dell 3050 (getting tossed out) with the i5, Win 10 Pro but they are labeled as Refurbished. Crucial brand!! Think the max RAM is 32 GB (16 x 2)
I just came across your UA-cam channel. Do you have access to get a Free Windows 10 or can I download a free version of Windows 10. I have Dell Optiplex 3040. I purchase. It was reset to factory. Microsoft Windows 7, Even the Microsoft office was taken off.
I just found your channel and am enjoying it immensely. I am purchasing a 3050 myself and this video was a great help. Thanks for the fine video!
Welcome aboard and glad it helped.

You've saved me a lot out time looking things up and I even found out that it can take m.2 and now I know it also takes 2.5 inch drive!

I'm Curious, what is the blue socket near the power supply? PCIe? Also, do you have a video showing how to switch to using both memory slots?
Thank you for this video, because of you, I was able to open my first PC ❤💯😇
Installing dual memory (ram) sticks. Does the cmos need to be adjusted or will it just recognize the 2nd ram stick?
FANTASTIC, SIR. THANK YOU!
after checking the documentation , this model use just a controller for M.2 not the performance of nvme / so that's why the speed is slowing

Educational and helpful. Thank you.
This is a great tutorial on the 3050!
What a difference an M.2 drive makes! 😊
How do you get the m.2 ssd to work when the pc powers on cause mine doesn't work when I did it while the hard drive cords were disconnected
Great video, can I get a link for the for the SSD NVMe please? :)
can we upgrade using GTX aero atx 1050Ti 4gb graphics card and XPG 8gb 2667Mhz 2 sticks RAM???
Do you have to install in drivers for the motherboard?
Samsung Evo 980 is also a pretty good choice
