For those who have this question: When you adapt a Nmve (PCIe) to an standard SATA conector, the speed of the Nmve will decrease to te maximum of a SATA III speed, wich is 600mb/s.
Thanks for the technical description of each one. Something to clarify, using NVMe drives has a higher performance because it uses the PCIe bus lane. The CPU can access this bus lane faster than on a SATA specification.
Easy enough. If you can support NVME try to find a good module on sale. I remember when a CD-ROM drive was $300 (that one could not write either) now you can get then dirt cheap if you search enough
Finally! A video that explains it all! Thank you! And an added bonus where I was also going to look up how to convert NVMe into 2.5 SATA for cloning my OS. You sir, are a saint!
there is no use of using NVMe in a SATA adapter as it SATA has AHCI interface and the NVMe card is made for PCIe interface. SATA has limit of 6Gbps. so it is bettter to buy SSD sata drive for cloning metal drives.
@@ellwalenndhejunny3229 It doesn't matter what is inside the box. The whole thing is determined by the connector to the computer, in this case it's SATA. So you only get SATA quality and not (as suggested) NVME quality. So that at least this "project" can work, the box must have the ability to translate NVME to SATA and vice versa what always goes on cost of speed performance. In the end you won't have even full SATA speed or the box is that much high in price for a hardware coded solution to get the SATA speed goal. Mostly it's an software emulation, i think. Just my 2 pence.
A little late, but in case anyone asks the same question today. You are probably better off getting an NVMe to USB adapter. Those are also the base for many external SSDs and absolutely prooven and cheap technology. I much prefer USB for such purposes because I can also use my Notebook to recover stuff from my PC.
the difficulty I had understanding yr words with yr thick accent was more than made up for by your to-the-point, consise, well detailed explanations with lots of visuals an examples. Well Done, and thank you
I already know about these by reading a lot of blog, spec sheet and watching many TH-cam videos. BUT your video is summary of all. (With the exception of 3.5" SSHD). BRAVO!
watched a few other breakdowns yet still the confusion between PCIe and NVMe grew more and more as i have a high end but somewhat one or 2 gen older laptop but wasn't sure what type it supported till i watched your video so thank you. NVMe is the one i need to get -
I would agree with most comments that the video gives a detailed description of the difference between the m2. SATA AND THE M2. NVME, also the various ways to confirm with your machine. Saved me alot of time ans worry that i was in, for the purchase. Thanks alot. This is worth a Sub and checking your content!!
Thank you for demonstrating the differences with actual SSDs. I was having a hard time wrapping my mind around them by just reading. Having visual references definitely help!
Excellent video. No mention of the PCIe 4.0 or the diffrence between x2 and x4 connections but I think most people care more for the connector types. Nice that you showed both the BIOS & the adaptors. It would of been nice to see a PCIe adaptor card for NVMe, and maybe the USB-C drives you can also throw them into. - excellent work.
This was very helpful. I bought an SATA M.2 thinking that NVME was not compatible for my laptop. Checked after I watched this video that my laptop does support M.2 NVME.
Umm . . or to see the choices for their existing gear, ability to upgrade or not, using a backup older p.c., , Keep in mind we all got along fine 10-15 years ago.
Thanks for the video. I just purchased a new laptop last week that has an M.2 NVMe drive and it loads things noticeably faster than my previous laptop with a 2.5" SATA 3 SSD. I was wondering why that and your video explained the differences nicely.
@@GeorgeDooling It can be used for other things and is, but for the general consumer it's mostly used for wifi. IIRC there are also some ethernet adapters amd usb adapters as well as other things.
At 6:50 you show that the NVMe M2 wont go in to the SD adapter, though it looks like it will if you flip it. Would this not work in the adapter but limited to max SATA III speed?
Thanking you for creating this video. Excellent video, especially on the difference between M.2 connection for SATA and NVME SSDs, as well as various connections for different SSDs.
Very nice, fair and understandable compilation. The only thing I missed from the end is that there is an adapter card that can be used to plug the m.2 nvme card directly into the pci express 16 slot. Thank you!
My concern is that the location and orientation of the M.2 SSD connector in a MacBook pro is different, and more specifically its central position, may seem confusing at first. The connector is in the middle and some are talking about 12 + 16 pins. What is the exact format of this type of record? mSATA, M.2 NVMe SSD or PCIe?
I have a question. I have Foxconn 2abf (H-CUPERTINO2-H61-uA TX) motherboard and it has mini PCIe slot. Can I use mSATA SSD (Kingston SUV500MS/480G) in it because I find that some mSATA can be plugged in mini PCIe
How do I put a floppy disk into the NVME port? It doesn't fit into the PCIE GPU port, I think I broke it trying but luckily I don't have a need for a GPU. I have a Macbook Pro running Vista. Thanks for any help.
this video is extremely useful as I'm having issues with my m.2 and couldn't figure out why both functional drives won't work on my first motherboard slot, just knowing both type of ssds are compatible solved my issues and I think I just need an 11th gen Intel for that specific slot to function after reading the motherboard info again. dropped a sub and a like
To further complicate things there's also mPCIe, which wasn't even mentioned. This is basically the PCIe version of the mSATA form factor. So there's actually mPCIe and mSATA, and their more modern counterparts M.2 PCIe (NVMe) and M.2 SATA.
@@DarrenC_1024 no idea, I've not lived in every region of the world, neither have you. That's why I said "maybe", I allow for regional differences in syntax, I'm not narrow minded.
@@adrianmack3 so, you are just arguing for arguing's sake? And based your argument on things that you don't even know if it exists? Well, in my region (and I'm sure most other regions) we call this nonsense talking.
This is technologically useful. I would recommend this video to my acquaintances and my sibling. I would love to watch again because it includes lifehack like that m.2 will make into sata disk.
Really helpful in understanding the difference between M.2 NVME and M.2 SATA. The laptop I got my son has M.2 SATA but I was unsure of compatibility differences, before watching your video.
I rarely subscribe to any TH-cam channel. But the in depth explanation and your detailed knowledge about it made me consider subscribing to your channel. You must be an absolute professional and also expert at making/editing videos.
Great Video .. I need to ask you, I have Western Digital - PC SN520NVMe WDC PCIe Gen 3X2 the small 2230 blue one, I bought over 4 different types of adapters to transfer date to make it 2.5 SATA but non worked , I can send you a photo of the drive if you want. I just need to hook it up to my sata dock to transfer the date and re-image if needed. Please Advise
Thanks for the video. Now I got a question that may sound oumb. NVMe works with the PCIe bus, if I install an NVMe on my motherboard (one that has a mid high end Gpu for gaming) will my gaming performance suffer because I have the GPU working in PCIe slot while this thing uses the PCIe bus?

Hello good afternoon. I would like to know that the memory is compatible with my laptop (HP Pavilion 15-ec1010np) cpu AMD Ryzen5 4600h / GTX1650ti. I would really like this help because I am not getting help from HP. thanks
Dear creator of above video, do you happen to know, if M.2 SSD of PCIe 4.0 can be fitted onto a motherboard that only support PCIe 3.0 (eg. Samsung 980).
Great video, One thing the actual connection on the mother board itself . How do you know if itll support M.2 SATA or M.2 NVME ? Can you see a physical different ? As most connections all have the M key ?
Super video. Very impressive, the way you have put in the content so elegantly with examples. This video will demystify everything around the topic. Thanks for sharing.
You can, if your motherboard supports booting from the PCIe bus. I found out the hard way my old Dell T1700 doesn't support this. But we have an HP Z-series workstation that does boot from the NVMe drive.
That was AWESOME I have been looking to upgrade my laptop and was getting confused with the different drives that were needed for different machines. This really cleared it up. THANKS
