Yeah he has a great podcast voice!
You use your words and time wisely. So many people would have made this twice as long, with half of that time being complete fluff. I appreciate the well-spoken and direct manner you speak with.
Thanks for the explanation, I saw a conversation of people saying "SSD is a good but m.2 is better" and others replying "yeah m.2 is better but Nvme is even better" and I was really confused. Now I know they were probably referring to the same Nvme m.2 SSD drive but they didn't know the first thing about Solid states drives 😂
I dont know jack shi about ssds but this video helped
Thank you so much, short and simple, yet all the information needed!
Ive been searching yt about this topic, and this one is the best of all
Very clear explanation. I hope you discuss any advantages to using M.2 NVMe drives in external enclosures.
My first hard drive was a 30MB, and a DLL controller which I got in the mid 80's. I paid $300 for the drive and $140.00 for the controller card. My new build is and Asus MB with 3 M.2 NVME slots.
I have two m.2 drives and I couldn’t be more happy with how fast and the amount of storage you can get. One is behind my GPU hiding
I have to agree. The difference between an m.2 and a sata ssd is definitely noticeable. I have two in my set up also and couldn't be happier
Question. What do I need to look for in order to have two M.2 drives?
@@TheDalifeblives your MB specs will tell you if that type of storage is compatible. Are you looking to buy a MB that can support 2 slots or have one and wondering if you can?
@@garrettstockeCan you recommend any boards that have at least 2 nvme m.2 slots and compatible with ddr5 ram
Best explanation of M.2 ever! THanx!
concise and informative. thanks for the top notch explanation
I was definitely skeptical about the cost but I recently upgraded from a standard western digital 2TB HDD to a 1TB M.2 NVMe. The difference in boot up times alone was incredible. My Windows 11 desktop PC boots up in about 18 seconds, crazy fast. I highly recommend upgrading if you aren't already using NVMe. Do your homework and make sure you do it correctly though.
Is it okay to play heave games on m.2 nvme?
I heard that they affect on it's health so it won't last
@@tayibabbaci1883 on average they last about 10 years (maybe more) so you have plenty of time. I play AAA games no problem.
I remember when 40 GB SSD's were like $150. Those were the good old days.
yea good old XD
that doesn’t sound good
I remember having a stack of 5” floppy’s banging away on a monochrome screen thinking I had the world at my hands
@@Long_Dong_Chong 😂🤣😂🤣 damn not even 3.5" 🤣😂
I guess you don't remember those days when 1GB RAM is sold for 35$
In 2007
The best explanation in the whole of internet. HANDS DOWN!!
I'm in the market for my laptop. Thanks for summarizing...
Beautifully explained and thank you! Cleared it right up for this Aussie bloke. Cheers - Dave
Informative. Quick and Friendly! Awesome work Juan Carlos!
Thank you for this vid - I'm building a new system this year after 5 years without even glancing at the PC component market and I was very confused about these little drives. This cleared it up!
Congratulations on the new system! The speed jump you'll get with M.2 drives from a SATA drive or even a 2.5 inch SSD is amazing.
@@Neweggstudio can you help me please? In my country, recently Crucial P1, P2, and P5 m.2 SSD-s are in good prices. P5 is more expensive, but P1 and P2 are in the same priceline which I`d buy an m.2 SSD from. Firstly simply I just thought that P2 is newer than P1, and simply a better SSD in all aspects, then I`ve started to look for reviews, tests about the 2 SSD-s, and I`ve found that it`s not even a straight choose. When I saw P2, although it`s newer release and faster, it was mentioned that it doesn`t have DRAM cache, TLC variant (but I`ve learnt from the video that it`s not so important), and in the time of release it has an average speed. While I was searching reviews about P1, users didn`t really scandalize it, they consider it as a reliable SSD, and in the time of its release they praised the speed of it. So I get quite confused with this. I know that P2 is later and has faster speed, but I don`t know if someone has a 3rd gen. m.2 socket, and the SSD-s of that gen are all between 1-2000Mbit, then 1-2-300Mbit difference shoud count so much that choose the less reliable SSD? Sorry I forgot to mention that I have a Dell g3 3590 laptop and I would use the laptop to have the op. system on it and for playing games and occasionally edit own videos with a software. That SSD would be the only drive in the laptop. Please, can you help me which is the best choose? Thank you for your help in advance.
Just what I was looking for. No BS and explained well. Super helpful. Thanks!
Thank you for explaining that! I have to go into my wish list now to make sure I have made the right decision!!
That cleared up plenty of things! Thanks informative voice!
this helped a lot, I’m upgrading my Pc i’ve had for 6 years (was a gift so i didn’t build it and I’m new to PC parts) and i wanted to stream and upgrade storage. I noticed an M.2 was empty so i was thinking about getting an NvME for it, but got confused on what Sata and Nvme and M.2 meant. Sadly my motherboard only supports Sata m.2, but this cleared up a lot for me. Thanks
Short and detailed, all the info you needed!
Sept. 20, 2022 - A very good video with a great explanation of M.2 AND NVMe SSDs. Thank you!
Hey man, I love you. Thank you for this.
He has got it going on plain and simple and to the point.
Probably the best explanation on UA-cam... the rest seem a bit convoluted. Thanks!👍
THANK YOU Juan for getting to the meat & potatoes function of the issue. 'Linus' was still half way to disneyland explaining retro cable comparison contrast. : )
I love your tone of voice. Lol
Thank you. Clear explanation. Didn't know the difference between those 2 words and now I do.
Thank you! Great presentation.
M key, B key, M+B Key, M Key SATA, B Key SATA and M+B Key SATA. With all the pre-built companies putting in cheaper M+B SATA drives it's nice to know what you pulled out of a machine if you decide to slap it in a PCIe adapter for say, a DIY NAS. Lots of laptops come with a 128gb M.2 SATA drive and it still huge for a boot drive on a home built NAS.
Very well explained TY. Cleared up some misinformation I had been fed.
Things will get to a point where we have M.2 NVME for OS and softwares while 2.5" SSD for mass data
Clear, concise, informative, great vid!
This man has a nice presentation
Got it! Pretty sure you could have explained in 18min+, but thats all for me, thanks for keeping it brief!
Thank you for the video. You mention in the video to be sure of the interface used. How does one know that the motherboard supports NVMe even if the laptop came with a SATA?
You laid it out perfectly for somebody who was confused trying to read and learn it.
Thank you!
"Most Drives that use NVMe are M.2"...
In the Laptop and Desktop world, yes.
When you move into the land of Servers, M.2 is actually not as popular.
U.2 and U.3 look like SATA 2.5" drives but are actually NVMe
EDSFF is a family of form factors for NVMe drives which is going to replace U.2 and U.3.
The main advantage to U.2, U.3 and EDSFF in the server world is Serviceability, Density and Cooling.
Very informative. I'm subscribing to your channel because of how you explain things
Thanks for speaking clearly and for NOT using; abbreviation "word salad," to explain these important details.
Thanks Juan! Very helpful!
Don't forget that M.2 screw for the second M.2 slot that does not come with the MB or the M.2 drive you just bought!
Thanks for the help. I've been a little confused about the nuance of this for a while.
May he a dumb question, but if a M.2 drive is bad will it cause a PC to slow down alot or cause blue screens or boot up errors?
Ok I need help please just bought a new motherboard and i9 now I’m transferring everything over but my m.2 slots I have three for gen 4 and 1 for gen 3 how do I know what gen my m.2 is?!!!!! Please someone
Thx bro, I was so confused googling ! now its clear!
very informative ,short but clear ..u deserve my sub
It's crystal clear now. Thank you sir!
Well done! Excellent explanation and to the point. Thank you!
Thank you. That cleared that up.
Okie hui
Got it! Clear concise and simple.
Super appreciative!
No pcie nvme slot? No problem.. Just add a pcie expansion card and plug the nvme card in that..
So if I had a 2 slot PCIe mobo, I could just attach this and make that number higher while the additional ones still work the same as the ones on my mobo, or will they have different speeds
m.2 is just how it looks, NVMe is how it acts. Simple as that.
NICE VID MAN
Great explanation👍🏼 do more like these 🤩
Perfect explanation
Nice.. My confusion is solved.
I wish you had explained the numbering system for these drives.
Very useful information about m.2 .
Thanks 😊
m.2 is interface and nvme is the technology using which the data is transferred. Did i still get it wrong?
NVMe is only useful if transfer between NVMe or within the same drive. 98% of people don't even do that
How much difference is there between 512GB PCIe M.2 Class 40 SSD & 512GB PCIe NVMe M.2 🤔
clear and thorough explanation. thanks
Such a great breakdown!
Beautifully explained.
I just subscribed.
You got it going on my friend.
Keith
what's the difference then between 512 GB PCIe® NVMe™ TLC M.2 SSD(4x4 SSD) and 512 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD? which one is best?
Just what I needed to see!
*Just a warning* ⚠️
When SSDs fail or you accidentally wipe data from them, their data is MUCH more difficult for technicians & software to recover. SSDs also may not have as long a _usage_ life as HDD and are currently still more expensive for the value they offer, so weigh these considerations, particularly if you care about data, reliability, and/or are into production (graphical or audio). Cheers.
*As for why SSD data is harder to recover, it's simple: a HDD's data is stored physically onto a physical platter, but an SSD's data is "stored" electronically/digitally; anything happens to that digitized information and that's kind of it...unless you're in real good hands or lucky.
Can a motherboard using 3rd gen pcie slots support 4th gen m.2s?
Thanks for quick response!
nice explanation 👍
Parallel ATA/IDE > Serial ATA > NVME/M.2 (Sata interface interpreter, or PCIe direct interface)
thx, that cleared out alot. I'm doing research into building my next music making pc and it's cool to know how the sample libraries that take agest to load will benefit from this architecture, especially because the modern plugin clients stream high volumes of samples off a disk and on a HDD , that really causes lots of caching glitches and stutter.
Now I hope I can find the best motherboards that will read these cards in pcie4 mode.
nice explanation
Solid explanation, thank you. 🙂
Thank you soooo much!!! I FINALLY understand!!!!
Great easy video to understand!
Can you use an m.2 2230 size used on desktop computer?
Are all m.2 pcie slots on the mobo capable of utilising nvme ?
There's one more detail you forgot to mention. The notch can tell them apart
I believe he did mention briefly that they are "keyed differently".
How about info for those of us who already know what the difference between SATA and NVMe is, but are confused about regular NVMe and the PCIe version is? Don't we deserve help?
so that means that once pcie 5 comes out those nvme ssds will be even faster?
Yep!
@@bengam3 thats neat
help me choose between crucial p2 250gb & samsung 980 250gb. Crucial is $40 & samsung is $49. Is samsung worth the extra money. I generally use laptop for ms excel, word, ppt, Web browsing and some softwares. Please help me choose one
Woohoo! Fortunately, I chose a new motherboard that used NVMe for its two M.2 slots. Now I know I'll be set to use an M.2 SSD exclusively for my new gaming drive! 😁
good explanation.
well explained. Thanks
you should do radio, your voice is awesome.
Huh.. I have to m.2 nvme slots. But the 2nd one is a but shorter...
Both uses same slot...?
great info my man cheers
Best explanation 👌 Thanks
im sorry if i missed u saying but im confused because i have a Asus B150m motherboard and that looks like it takes the normal M.2 to me. where as NVMe has 2 slots in it i can see and that doesnt look like it will fit in my motherboard. is there a certain max speed my motherboard can handle for instance like ram memory i can only have up to 2400. sorry to sound a noob i just dont want to spend like £100 on a M.2 and find its not gonna work. i would also love them G.Skill RAM Memory sticks in chrome with lights but they are hella expensive lol maybe ill think about it if i can start a nice new build. im not into overclocking or need water cooling as such. air coolings fine.
fantastic video, thank you
im confused: if M.2 has a dedicated slot on the motherboard why the interface still can be sata or pcie? they have their own shape as a slot different from a M.2 shape. im very confused!
Can I put a NVMe SSD in a PCIe slot?
I actually wanna use nvme or m.2 ssd and i dont whitch one will work as an external ssd drive to stock games on my xbox series s i dont know which one will work tho
So my mother bored can use 5 m.2 ssd so should I use 5 2tb m.2 ssd?
awesome video. Thanks for the explanation. Now where is Trisha?
We love both of our hosts! Trisha will be in plenty of videos coming up!
Very informative thank you.
So if you use two different m.2 brands along with speeds...do they affect each other's speed? Like does the faster one match the slower ones speeds? Or do they run independently.
