Friend amazing video, lowed the graphics subbed. I have a Samsung 970Pro 1 TB but its on a PCIe Gen2x2 M.2 Slot. So on CrystalDiskMark 6.02 Benchmark software am only getting Seq Q32T1 READ: 847.4 MB/s WRITE: 792.9 MB/s after optimization with Samsung Magician! Its 1/3 of what is capable! I noticed you forgot talk about this Gen 1, 2, 3 and X speeds, also the cards you can get for M.2 Drives which can plug into either a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot or a X4 slot... Video update possibly?
Jeezus, thank you for this informative video! And even the list is spot on. Hope you release more vids because the animations and explanations are very professional and to the point, thanks!!
@@MilanSerbia14 yes.. last year i upgraded my old samsung 830 series to a 1 tb 970 pro and 2x 1 tb 860 evo in raid 0.. the os is ofc on the 970.. even tho my 830 didn't even fully max out the sata speeds possible and only did like something in the 400ish read and 300ish write i have to say the jump from hdd to the 830 was far more noticeable in terms of speed (boot, app starts, etc.) than going to the 970.. but that is because in day to day use we don't really utilize the speeds that often really.. iops are really more important for a os drive than sequential read/write speeds.. because an os in use usually doesn't write or read large chunks of data at once but tiny bits of data is read and written again and again.. i think what makes the difference is latency for how snappy a drive feels and not raw read/write speeds and normal sata ssds have low latency anyways.. yes there is certain tasks where m.2 ssds really shine but usually it's really hard to see any advantage over the sata drives while using a pc.. it's more like a second here a second there.. another thing is that we can only really utilize reads because writes well.. as long as you write something from ram okay.. but else there is nothing in my pc that reads fast enough to max out the 970's over 2700 mb/s write speeds.. my 860 raid gives me at least 1200 read and 1050 write.. so i would need 2 more to get close to what the 970 can do.. you'd really need a lot of sata ssds in a raid config or another m.2 drive were you constantly copy data from one to the other to utilize that sequential speeds..
Wow! I'm guessing a lot of time and research was put into making this video. Presenting this type of complex information in a format that people understand is an artform and (in my experience) takes a lot of time and thinking. Great work!
As an ex MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer) who now 70 years old and has been out of the IT world for 10 years and now due to wanting to update his 10-year-old PC, looking at many TH-cam videos to get up to date and ensure what I purchase is the best I can get for my money - could not agree with you more - an EXCELLENT video that crammed a lot of information but made it very understandable as oppose so much rubbish I have fond on here.
You can tell he's really intelligent because of the way he dumbs everything down to make it understandable for people like us who have no clue about things like this lol
You have the best explanation on m.2, NVMe & SSD altogether. I've watched other videos made by others, boy, was it ever so confusing the way they explained it. So thank you so very much.
Everyone buying an M.2 SSD should take careful note of 6:00 as almost everyone I know of still gets confused what nvme and sata is. Thank you for helping me, too!
I passed my A+ exam soo long ago that's it's hard for me to keep up with all the hardware upgrades. This channel is always keeping me on top of my game. It educates you on issues that are very relevant but few people talk about. Thank you for all you do!
Actually this content requires an update as I was already using a M.2 NVME on my now retired FX based system using a PCIe card as the motherboard lacked M.2, but Windows 10 supports it. I'm pretty sure it is also supported by the linux kernels and distro's. Please note that I am not saying incorrect, but requires an update due to the statement at about the 6 minute time mark. Provisioning has come a long way also. I also used PrimoCache and RAMDisk's on my system as it had 32G DDR3 @ 1600 which most people didn't have much experience with about five years ago. But that's probably covered in a different video I'll assume. But good coverage, thank you. :)
I suggest watching the coverage by Gamers Nexus if you are not already, as the content is not about gaming but hardware itself. Please note that I used this visual coverage on my topic on M.2|SSD's on my FB page. Never upgrade a machine that is going to be used by marketing that is next to an accountant. They won't understand. . Generally people will not comprehend that reading|writing to the same drive slows the process of transcoding video content and that more cores|threads are really used in performing these tasks. I still do not have my A+ though my first distro was Slackaware back in 1998 which installation is by far different from doing an install these days. ;) lol
@@Mauser1965 about the only thing that would need to be updated about this video is the inclusion of PCIe 4.0 drives. But otherwise there is nothing to really update about this content. Just because your board lacks m.2 doesn't mean a thing.
Kenneth, m.2 is just a different form factor. That's it. In fact, most M.2 SSD still use Sata III. Some of the newer ones use Pci-e but they are less common and more expensive. The one in my Thinkpad laptop uses Pci-e. I could of used an old school 2.5" SSD with a convertor cable if I wanted. It'd just auto- switch over to the SATA controller when its hooked up if I did. I chose to use an M.2 SSD though. The M.2 SSD is a little less lighter, it gives me more open space for airflow, and PCI-e is faster than Sata.
Damn, I think I watched more than 20 of your vids straight and it's very consistent - clear and extremely easy to understand. I'm not an IT guy but enjoys tech topics. You are a blessing man. Keep it up! Just subscribed btw.
I cannot tell you how much this video has helped me. I have been pulling out my hair trying to understand the difference between an M.2 sata SSD and a sata SSD, trying to visualize what the hell a NVMe is (thinking the entire time it was a component on the motherboard itself) and you have given me some desperate answers I have been looking for. I am so thankful and grateful for your work! I'm an aspiring IT specialist and you make it really easy!!! xo
After _years_ of using HDDs, I finally just got an SSD, and *wow.* I was expecting a small boost but instead experienced the fasted boot up in my life.
I am still scratching my head about why would someone dislike this video. Everything said here was absolutely correct and highly informative. And it wasn’t also hypothetical and was presented with detailed data facts. Some people hit the dislike button just for the sake of it.
I can't believe I really *SLEPT* on this these storage form factors for *YEARS* now. I've seen these on Amazon, I thought they were some kind of laptop memory never reading descriptions. 2017, My Son bought Me a Dell 5600 series, only opening it to add more memory and a 2nd hard disk drive. I didn't pay attention too much at the MotherBoard. End of 2020, both My houses caught fire due to vacant house in between being set on fire. Lots of fire/water damage and huge losses of many things. My Dell didn't get damaged at all other than debris being inside it. I finally after 2 years decided to work on it to see if it was still functional, it is and using it now. So, while vacuuming it out and wiping inside with alcohol, I noticed 2 slots for these types of drives marked *_NVMe & M.2 SSD._* Realizing something could be connected to the slots. I looked it up, slapped My forehead shocked of Me sleeping on these. I will be purchasing those *_"little sticks of gum."_* They're very cheap now.
This was on my recommended list and I thought I wouldn't understand anything but Wow. Straight to the point, with nice pace, useful animation, and no music or distractions. Impressive work.
@@PowerCertAnimatedVideos 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.
As most of the comments are suggesting, the effort you have put into simple explanations in the video is simply brilliant. Well done and thank you for the great effort. 👍
Late to this party but thank you, this is just what I needed. I haven't built a bare bones system in a while (OK, a decade) and this resolved so many SSD questions that I had. As an old geek I really like to know why things go together the way they do and you have a wonderfully concise way of explaining things.
Probably because Linus is usually pretty clueless, his minions are continually correcting him.. It's difficult for someone to explain concepts which they themselves barely grasp...
First of all I want to congratulate and thank you for this video. This video is by far the most illuminating and most clear video I have ever watched on youtube these days about clearing what M.2 NVMe and what it is NOT! Having watched at least a dozen videos on the issue, it is only this video which cleared out everything that was under the wraps in my mind. I think the powerful sides of this video are: 1) perfect animations 2) quite clear and slow description of things (many videos on youtube do not understand they are explaining the material i) to non-technical people ii) to technical people but who do not have much expertise in the area iii)to people whose mother tongue is not English) 3) sufficient information (not too much, not too less) 4) and just the technical information well balanced without any babbling, silly jokes or stupid phrases appearing every now and then- once again thanks and keep up the good work.
Wow. You explained this technology very well. As an IT professional, I am not immune to learning about new concepts and technologies. I was going to purchase the Samsung 970 pro PCIe but went with the Crucial 1TB PCIe to save money. They both have good reviews so I am hoping to have great success with the Crucial. I've decided to subscribe to your channel and am looking forward to your videos. Thank you.
Your video is well done. It is informative, interesting, and easy to understand. I am sure most people appreciate this type of explanation as much as I do. I have a technical background but I am not impressed when someone throws dozens of acronyms around in an attempt to show intelligence. It reminds me of the military. Side note: Someone told me that while he was in the service, he told his boss the same thing every morning. It was this. "Hey Sarge, I'm heading down to HQ for C&D." Sounding official, his boss agreed and knew the trip would take the customary 2 hours. It ended after 18 months when the Sargent asked "What is C&D ?" Oh, he replied, Coffee and Donuts. I look forward to watching more of your videos. G
Haven’t watched this video yet, but I’m happy just to see you still create TH-cam content. Studying your latest CompTIA A+ video at the moment & love it. Exam scheduled for August 30th. Thank you.
Francisco Santos Sad to say, but I’ve been studying for probably 5-6 months. Due to bouncing around from different study materials, while also trying to figure out the best way for ME to learn caused a major delay in achieving the cert.
Woooooooooooowwww! Was searching internet for a while about all this buzz regarding m.2 and nvme. This is by far the MOST eloborated and best explaination I found. Now I know, thank you so much! Big time
WONDERFUL VIDEO! I'm an Old Dog and was wondering what the heck was up with all these new M.2 drives. Now I'm with the program! Very simply put, straight forward, I can now regurgitate that I learned here and not sound like I'm from last century! I guess you can teach Old Dogs new tricks!
thanks powercert. i always wondered what the difference was. these videos have taught me so much. im currently studying for the 901 and 902 and the visual representations have really helped me. thanks again.
AWESOME video explanation! I appreciate your time for creating this explainer video. Prior to this, I didn't now what the big deal was about microSD's vs SATA, vs NVMe SSD's.
Accidentally this video came in my recommendation today while I'm searching how to build a PC 4days ago due to TH-cam algorithm. For past few weeks i got so many doubts and i was not clear how to build a PC. Your content was very clear that i have no doubts. Please do keep up your work and thanks a lot for your valuable videos. -From India 🇮🇳
5 years later, I can't believe how dirt cheap 2 Tb m.2 drives have become. It's like they are one their way out to make room for the next big storage technology
Dude you have the BEST VIDEOS I have ever seen on any social media platform. I was thinking today while watching people just talking using no graphics to show us what they are talking about and I hate listening to people on a video and all we see them do is talk with just their MOUTH FACE and no graphics.
Awesome !! I'm already a great fan of your videos !! They've helped me in understanding important Hardware and Networking concepts much quickly and easily !! Thanks and keep making such awesome educational videos.
Dude you are just Brilliant! I want to meet you and thank you for educating me everyday. I’ve watched the RAM video almost 10 times. I want to know how to explain technology exactly like you do! You are a MASTER! Thank you soooo soooo much! When I pass my A+ ... I will have you to thank for sure !
Love your channel, you make everything so easy to understand when you explain and use simple animation. Wish you was my teacher back when I was in school. Keep up the excellent work and learn us how stuffs works.
This is the kind of special channel you hope would exist when you think of "TH-cam" as a whole. This is the very definition of looking up helping and finding it when you need it in a simple easy to digest format.
Glad to see you recommend the M.2 I had my eyes on. Though I'm waiting for it to come out in the 2TB model (April 2019?) I would have like for you to add some info on issues that some mobos seem to have where you have to "decide" which PCIe M.2 adapter to use - as they share the bus with one of the PCIe expansion slots (apparently my Asus Z170 has this issue).
Guys, your video are just realllyyy awesome, I'm a technician on computers and I can't barely explain things like these as perfect as yours to my customer, which basically have low knowledge of computer technologies, a KUDOS to you guys.
My diy external ssd have 2.5gbps transfer rate, 100gb done in 6 minutes. I spent only like 60 bucks for it. I'm so amazed i have to know how it works. Thanks, great video.
@fukthegoog You could, but the price per GB means it's not a great option for most people. A common reason to do it is that you want a really fast drive to work with large data sets or for video editing. For most people application and OS on a SATA SSD and an HDD for bulk storage tends to provide a good experience at a relatively cheap price.
You didn't apply for the stimulus check? I didn't think I was going to get one but someone kept telling me to go for it. Finally did, got $1200 in the mail, finally bought myself an actual gaming rig. Now I game with the big boys. But seriously, I'm so happy I can finally play stalker at max settings, man, I had no idea what I was missing out on.
Thank you so much for this video. I've been trying to understand M.2/NVME for ages and haven't been able to find a video that explained it in a straight forward way. I appreciate how you broke it down.
Thank you very much! 😊👍It not easy to investigate without assistance. Especially for ordinary user whom not no much about it. Before this video I be sure that M2SSD and Nvme is different. And now I understand that they all M2, but some of them + support Nvme (PCI express) for more high speed and some not.

So on CrystalDiskMark 6.02 Benchmark software am only getting

That's the one I have in my new build from last weekend. So far so good.. especially with the Magician software installed.
Hello , which motherboard would you recommend to go with the M.2 NVMe and i7 8700 processor ?

Great video i dont know much about computers but this made such clear sense to me. Ill make sure i dont go and get one of the slower ones
Dude, videos like this make me wish TH-cam still had a star rating system, this is a 5 stars content
doooooood totally forgout about that
TH-cam had star ratings? Didn't know that
This is the day i found out TH-cam had a star rating.. damn guess 2011 was too late
MrVendetta420 that’s some 2000’s shit
I never really used TH-cam way back then, but I do remember it having star ratings whenever I saw it. I forgot about it all this time
This is the best video that explains the differences between drive technologies on TH-cam.
Thank you.

I think the powerful sides of this video are: 1) perfect animations 2) quite clear and slow description of things (many videos on youtube do not understand they are explaining the material i) to non-technical people ii) to technical people but who do not have much expertise in the area iii)to people whose mother tongue is not English) 3) sufficient information (not too much, not too less) 4) and just the technical information well balanced without any babbling, silly jokes or stupid phrases appearing every now and then- once again thanks and keep up the good work.
I know this video is old but for someone catching up on tech it's amazing.
"In orher word, its fast" that simplified everything
Lmaoo
1:54 the computer illustration he used brings back memories
Wow. You explained this technology very well. As an IT professional, I am not immune to learning about new concepts and technologies. I was going to purchase the Samsung 970 pro PCIe but went with the Crucial 1TB PCIe to save money. They both have good reviews so I am hoping to have great success with the Crucial. I've decided to subscribe to your channel and am looking forward to your videos. Thank you.
How did that crucial m.2 work 4 u,,, im considering the same
Thank you for this video! This is the first one I've seen that actually explains what NVMe MEANS! Incredibly useful!
I searched everywhere in internet to explain in simple terms. Nothing beats your video. Simple to the point.
Thank you.
Your video is well done. It is informative, interesting, and easy to understand.
I am sure most people appreciate this type of explanation as much as I do.
I have a technical background but I am not impressed when someone throws dozens of acronyms around in an attempt to show intelligence.
It reminds me of the military.
Side note: Someone told me that while he was in the service, he told his boss the same thing every morning. It was this. "Hey Sarge, I'm heading down to HQ for C&D." Sounding official, his boss agreed and knew the trip would take the customary 2 hours.
It ended after 18 months when the Sargent asked "What is C&D ?" Oh, he replied, Coffee and Donuts.
I look forward to watching more of your videos.

Thank you :)
Haven’t watched this video yet, but I’m happy just to see you still create TH-cam content. Studying your latest CompTIA A+ video at the moment & love it. Exam scheduled for August 30th. Thank you.
Thanks :)
How much time you been studying for the exam bro?
Francisco Santos Sad to say, but I’ve been studying for probably 5-6 months. Due to bouncing around from different study materials, while also trying to figure out the best way for ME to learn caused a major delay in achieving the cert.
@@PMPHUSTLE - Good luck on exam
Excellent technical information and I'm astounded by the art and production of this video. Engaging and informative. Fantastic video.
Thank you. :)
Impressive animated video och very good explanation, very educational. Better than most schools.
Woooooooooooowwww! Was searching internet for a while about all this buzz regarding m.2 and nvme. This is by far the MOST eloborated and best explaination I found. Now I know, thank you so much! Big time
I have watched a few of your videos now and find them the most clear and concise videos on tech - ever! Excellent and thank you very much.
Amazing
I wasn t getting a grasp of the notion but know everything is just clear you re the best that s gonna help for my tomorrow's exam
Probably the best video on any computer subject that I have ever seen.
WONDERFUL VIDEO! I'm an Old Dog and was wondering what the heck was up with all these new M.2 drives. Now I'm with the program! Very simply put, straight forward, I can now regurgitate that I learned here and not sound like I'm from last century! I guess you can teach Old Dogs new tricks!
just heard about m.2 through a live stream and ordered one right away. actual game changer, my games run so much better now
WoW!!
This must be the 1st & only video about different ssd's worth a 👏!!
Very well explained
thanks powercert. i always wondered what the difference was. these videos have taught me so much. im currently studying for the 901 and 902 and the visual representations have really helped me. thanks again.
me to this is very good
Very complex topic to explain in a simple way.
This video is expressive and without confusion the best. New subscriber here
Thanks :)
"Non volatile memory express". First time i heard what nvme stands for. Every day i learn something new.
imma business major, so when he said "its fast" it was considerate how he dumbed it down for other people like me
Your video convinced me to get the NVME and I love it. Can confirm 3500MBps!
Nice....Thank you.
M.2 NVMe SSD that I recommend amzn.to/2VO7E1G
TRANSFERRED.
AWESOME video explanation! I appreciate your time for creating this explainer video. Prior to this, I didn't now what the big deal was about microSD's vs SATA, vs NVMe SSD's.
Why is the price on that page so high, even compared to newer models of Samsung M.2 NVMe SSDs?
im using samsung 990 pro and it is very fast
you need to update your description, the samsung 970 is a snail compared to the WD BLACK sn850x
The best way to simplify an idea is to use animation. Thanks for your hard work man.
Thanks a lot for making this video it’s vey informative and helping to extend my mac with more disk space
One of the best explanations I've heard and seen so far, keep up the good work!!!!👌👌👌👍👍👍👏👏👏
Love this. Feels like I'm back in class learning something new from the subject that I like. Thanks.
Accidentally this video came in my recommendation today while I'm searching how to build a PC 4days ago due to TH-cam algorithm. For past few weeks i got so many doubts and i was not clear how to build a PC. Your content was very clear that i have no doubts. Please do keep up your work and thanks a lot for your valuable videos.
-From India 🇮🇳
Great explanation of this slot. I'm upgrading my 10yr workstation soon ❤️
Works perfectly on my Macbook pro mid 2010! Thanks a lot! Way better than cloning
God bless those animations, how much time did you spent ? Great work ! Thanks for the video
"Or in other words, it's fast" :D:D:D
Amazing video that clarifies a lot, keep it up.
5 years later, I can't believe how dirt cheap 2 Tb m.2 drives have become. It's like they are one their way out to make room for the next big storage technology
Dude you have the BEST VIDEOS I have ever seen on any social media platform. I was thinking today while watching people just talking using no graphics to show us what they are talking about and I hate listening to people on a video and all we see them do is talk with just their MOUTH FACE and no graphics.
Your voice and the way you teach, is making faster to save to my brain.
Just like m.2
Awesome !! I'm already a great fan of your videos !! They've helped me in understanding important Hardware and Networking concepts much quickly and easily !! Thanks and keep making such awesome educational videos.
Thank you.
Dude you are just Brilliant! I want to meet you and thank you for educating me everyday. I’ve watched the RAM video almost 10 times. I want to know how to explain technology exactly like you do! You are a MASTER! Thank you soooo soooo much! When I pass my A+ ... I will have you to thank for sure !
Thank you :)
Love your channel, you make everything so easy to understand when you explain and use simple animation.
Wish you was my teacher back when I was in school. Keep up the excellent work and learn us how stuffs works.
Looks like a 80's 4:3 video... but the content is very accurate and clear ! nice job !
This is the kind of special channel you hope would exist when you think of "TH-cam" as a whole. This is the very definition of looking up helping and finding it when you need it in a simple easy to digest format.
that moment, when he just say "it mean, Its fast" that just what i need after wandering on internet for few hours
Super nice and easy video and animation that explains everything in a super easy way. Love it!
Glad to see you recommend the M.2 I had my eyes on. Though I'm waiting for it to come out in the 2TB model (April 2019?) I would have like for you to add some info on issues that some mobos seem to have where you have to "decide" which PCIe M.2 adapter to use - as they share the bus with one of the PCIe expansion slots (apparently my Asus Z170 has this issue).
Amazing video. This is phenomenal the level of clarity
Just had a technogasm...
Loving my 2TB NVME M.2 PCIE ($200 at MicroCenter). I reinstalled my OS onto it when I got it. Life is great!
This is gold....pure gold...thank you.
Thanks
Me: Watching using my old solid state drive
Another Me: I'll buy it when its cheap after few more years.
Amazing explanation sir. Your video helped me a lot to understand SATA & M.2 properly... Thanks a lot sir..
Thanks for making this video. I'm so glad that I watch this before buying a new CPU.. This vid really helps a lot!
Guys, your video are just realllyyy awesome, I'm a technician on computers and I can't barely explain things like these as perfect as yours to my customer, which basically have low knowledge of computer technologies, a KUDOS to you guys.
Simply amazing on how you explained everything.
Wow, just WOW... i`m speechless, from this video i`ve learned the difference between SSD SATA and SSD NVMe M.2 which i didn`t know it... Thank you!
The best video explaining SSD.
Thanks
As everybody else here has already commented; great, informative video which provided all of the info I needed and then some.
My diy external ssd have 2.5gbps transfer rate, 100gb done in 6 minutes. I spent only like 60 bucks for it. I'm so amazed i have to know how it works. Thanks, great video.
Thank you for that explanation! I'm no longer confused! 👍😎
Forgot to say that if your mother don't have M2 interface you an buy an adapter that connects in the PCI Express slot and have M2 interfaces..
Good point.
However depending of the chip-set the bios may not support boot from NVMe. (though some drives include an option ROM that can get around that. )
@fukthegoog
You could, but the price per GB means it's not a great option for most people. A common reason to do it is that you want a really fast drive to work with large data sets or for video editing.
For most people application and OS on a SATA SSD and an HDD for bulk storage tends to provide a good experience at a relatively cheap price.
me: too poor to afford an ssd
youtube: let's recommend it
One day.
One day...
You didn't apply for the stimulus check? I didn't think I was going to get one but someone kept telling me to go for it. Finally did, got $1200 in the mail, finally bought myself an actual gaming rig.
Now I game with the big boys.
But seriously, I'm so happy I can finally play stalker at max settings, man, I had no idea what I was missing out on.
I am new to all of this at age 67! Thank you for your excellent work! You get a comment and a like!
This channel nailed visual learning, wow
This was fantastic : a perfect explanation thank you !
Thank you so much. Very informative. Your channel really good. Love it.
Thanks.
Realmente muy buen video. Expicación clara y concisa. Además de un inglés perfectamente entendible.
Greetings!
straight to the point, informative, good video all around, man.
Thank you so much for this video. I've been trying to understand M.2/NVME for ages and haven't been able to find a video that explained it in a straight forward way. I appreciate how you broke it down.
Big Fan Here! 🤗 Need to create these kinds of animations for different purpose, Kindly suggest which program should I use to get such results?
Soon we will see M.2 drives pre-intalled by MOBO manufacturers.
doubtful
why bother just add a 32/64 gb nand flash like a soc ;)
The bast teaching..vary well made video series..thank
Very nice job. I work with SolidWorks, 'nuff said. One thing is to mention PCIe 3 or 4. Just switched and the speed is incredible.
Thank you very much! 😊👍It not easy to investigate without assistance. Especially for ordinary user whom not no much about it. Before this video I be sure that M2SSD and Nvme is different. And now I understand that they all M2, but some of them + support Nvme (PCI express) for more high speed and some not.
