SABRENT 2242 M.2 NVMe SSD 512gb, SSD 1700MB/s Read, 42mm PCIe 3.0 X4, Internal Solid State Drive, High Performance Compatible with All PCs, NUCs, and Laptops (SB-1342-512)

Product Information

M.2 slots recently showed up as a designation of a new form factor for devices inside of your PC or laptop. These were originally called Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), but M.2 has taken over as the dominant lingo for talking about these exciting devices. System designers and builders rely on consistent storage products. Kingston offers the following benefits with the design-in SSD product line:

SATA, as the most widely applied SSD interface, which is relatively mature than others. SATA includes SATA 1.0, SATA 2.0, and SATA 3.0. Different generation of interfaces run with different transfer rate. Theoretically speaking, SATA 3.0 bandwidth up to 6 Gbps, the maximum uncoded read-write rate can also reach 600 MB/s. The ADATA XPG Spectrix S40 is an unapologetically bright RGB-lit PCIe 3.0 NVMe M.2 SSD that blings up your PC. Its 4K read and write speeds should keep most gamers happy, too. The ADATA XPG Spectrix S40G carries some respectable wins out of its duel with other competing drives we've tested, and it looked great doing it.Global support – Kingston can coordinate SSD deliveries with a customer’s Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) or Contract Manufacturers (CMs) in other regions of the world, if required The Dogfish Internal SSD drive has a read speed performance of up to 540 MB per sec, while the write speed has been 500 MB per sec. The SSDs have been designed to provide you with an optimised multitasking performance. There are four versions of PCI-E specifications: PCI-E X16, PCI-E X8, PCI-E X4, and PCI-E X1. Most PCI-E SSD like Intel 750 series uses PCI-E X4. In my early career, I worked as an editor of scholarly science books, and as an editor of "Dummies"-style computer guidebooks for Brady Books (now, BradyGames). I'm a lifetime New Yorker, a graduate of New York University's journalism program, and a member of Phi Beta Kappa.

If there are just other drives or devices in the way of your M.2 drive, all you need to do is unplug them. As long as your motherboards’ connectors aren’t in the way, you can just deal with an awkward sizing situation until you can upgrade to the right motherboard.Know which bus you're on.In a laptop-upgrade scenario, you're almost certainly swapping out one M.2 drive for another, with the intent of gaining capacity. Make sure you know the specifications of the drive coming out of your system—and whether it's reliant on the SATA or PCI Express bus—so you can install the same, presumably roomier kind going in. So an M.2 SSD can be SATA-based, PCIe-based with NVMe support, or PCIe-based without NVMe support. An M.2 SSD with NVMe support offers up to five times more bandwidth than SATA M.2 models, bringing better performance in key tasks, such as file transfers, video or photo editing, transcoding, compression and decompression.
