What is NVMe and why do you need it for your next PC?

Massive thanks to Western Digital for sponsoring this episode of What the Spec. So today, I’m going to answer what is NVMe and why do you need it for your next PC? As well as benchmarking the new second generation of Western Digital NVMe M.2 drives.

I've split this episode into four easy to digest sections, as follows:

*What does it take for a new technology or brand to be adopted by Utopia?

*What is NVMe and what makes it so fast?

*Real-world Performance and Benchmarks

*Conclusion

It's worth highlighting that it was the 1TB version of the drive I benchmarked. Speeds of the other Western Digital SN750 drives are listed below:

250GB WD Black SN750 M.2 3100MB/s Read,1600MB/s Write
500GB WD Black SN750 M.2 3470MB/s Read,2600MB/s Write
1TB WD Black SN750 M.2 3470MB/s Read, 3000MB/s Write

Got a question? Simply ask in the comments below and I’ll answer in a flash!

Cheers!

If one can't afford NVMe, M.2 then don't. It's a performance booster but still budget above all.

What's key for you when it comes to storage? Space, price or performance? 🤔 Cheers, Craig
