very well explained and informative for someone that are trying to learn about PC and tech like me

m.2 sizes 2230 / 2242 / 2260 / 2280 / 22110
first two digits is 22mm tall
2nd two digits is how millimeters long.

It must be pointed out that NAND flash(the part of the chip that actually stores data) likes heat. It performs better when warm and has longer life. The reason your SSD may throttle is because of the controller which is a processor and so does not like heat. So if you're cooling your SSD make sure you're *only* cooling the controller. A tip that I came across in one of the Gamers' Nexus videos is to put a thermal pad between the controller of your M.2 SSD and the motherboard. It acts as a decent heatsink and the thermal load will be negligible relative to the rest of the chipset.

Informative video. The man is very well spoken and does not use any slang. He did not say the word, "like" once. Well done and so refreshing.

Unless you're a video editor, just go with regular SATA SSDs, they're much cheaper and the performance outside of programs that demand high sequential speeds is virtually identical.

[Fred_Costa]

Nice video. One advantage I've found on M.2 that you didn't mention is how they're more versatile with laptops. Re-using my drives when I upgrade is something I do rather often.

Great video!
My old Intel Quad core had been chugging along for a few years with never much speed increase from the upgrades I did.
Then I swapped in an SATA SSD (as my OS drive) and the difference was pretty amazing.
Probably the best money I ever spent.

This was the quick guide to SSD's video that was missing on the internet. great video...I remember wanting to know this information but there were no resources as straight forward as this on was. thank you

[ambersmith]

I think you're the most practical thinker for tech videos. Have you ever considered doing an advice video for your audience?

[YUSoDumb]

One more thing to consider when getting a 2.5 inch sata ssd.. The budget options will likely have no dram cache and have a single core controller. Those would be a decent option to bring life in to an old computer. But otherwise choose one with cache and a decent controller. The max sustained transfer speeds everyone loves to advertise aren't that important in daily tasks.

[CausticLemons]

I was literally browsing drives on Newegg and getting confused before going to Youtube and seeing this recommended. Perfect timing and very clear explanation of differences. Thank you!

[jucom]

Technology evolves so fast, 2 years ago a 500GB SATA almost cost more than a 1 TB m.2 nvme today...

[mfmahmoo]

There are a couple of inaccuracies in this video:
Transfer speed is not as important as IOPs. Unless you are editing large videos, sequential speed is irrelevant in every day usage. You want to look at Random IO.. Good SATA SSDs have similar iops compared to some mainstream NVMEs, despite being significantly cheaper.
All else being equal, your PC will NOT boot 10s faster, unless you take garbage SATA ssd. There are other bottlenecks in the windows boot process.
Games will NOT load much faster when comparing a good SATA ssd and NVME. In fact, the delta will probably hover around 10%. There are numerous videos online showing this. This is because the cpu/gpu become bottlenecks in texture decompression, etc.

Bottom line is that unless you do very large file editing (4k video etc) SATA ssds are by far a better bargain at the moment.

Thanks for the info of PCIe lanes on Nvme

[kgb]

This video, after a long time again, was full of recognizances that made me like and watch SCST in the first place. The tone, the format, the edit, is spot on!

[sitordan]

Finally someone shed light on this mess. Thank you, Greg!

[jamalgumbs]

This is so helpful, you've really given me a clear idea of what I want to do for my future build. Cheers!
