Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD 2TB - M.2 NVMe Interface Internal Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology (MZ-V7S2T0B/AM)

Product Information

M.2 drive length isn't always an indicator of drive capacity, but there are limits to NAND-chip density and how many memory modules engineers can stuff onto a PCB of a given size. As a result, most of the M.2 drives we've seen to date have topped out at 2TB, though you can find a few 4TB and 8TB models at lofty prices. The typical capacity waypoints are as follows: That's not a bad thing. Especially in the case of laptops, an older machine might supportonlyM.2 SATA-bus SSDs, and that will be the boundary of your upgrade path...end of story. As a result, the only reasons you'd upgrade the drive, in that situation, would be to get more capacity, or if the old one failed. The SK hynix Gold P31 is still the gold standard for laptop SSDs, especially as it has DRAM, but it’s limited to PCIe 3.0 bandwidth, isn’t always available, and is limited to 2TB of capacity. The MP44 can get twice the bandwidth, but even in a 3.0 slot, it is inexpensive for 4TB and even has an 8TB option. Other alternatives, like the Crucial P3 Plus or Corsair MP600 Core XT, are slower and use QLC. The heatsink found on the Addlink A93 and other SSDs preclude them from laptop use and can add a little cost. Otherwise, the MP44 will have some competition at lower capacities, but it is worth a look if you can find it at the right price. The Team MP44 is part of the vanguard for new and better DRAM-less SSDs. Newer controllers and flash are letting budget/value drives push the limits of the PCIe 4.0 interface while providing high capacities without making compromises. They can have the endurance and performance of TLC and the high power efficiency of four-channel, DRAM-less controllers, all without extra cost. Less power means less heat, and these drives are also designed to be single-sided. That combination makes the MP44 perfect for laptops. A 2-3 TB kapacitású meghajtók azoknak ajánlottak, akik nagyméretű fájlokkal dolgoznak vagy sok játékot, professzionális felhasználásra szánt programot futtatnak a gépükön és szeretnék ezeket a nagy kapacitás mellett gyorsan elérni.

If you're a custom PC builder with RGB-lighting fever, and have RGB-ified just about every inch and corner of your system, perk up: ADATA has brought pretty lights to the internal SSD final frontier. The XPG Spectrix S40G is the most flamboyant NVMe drive we've seen to date. With its exceptional 4K write speeds, top-notch sequential-read speeds, and respectable durability rating, ADATA makes having a top-of-the line, over-the-top SSD affordable and fun, in one fell swoop. Who It's For has become a more attractive capacity point for SSDs as time has gone on. While there are now many options available, most come with compromises of one sort or another. You may have to settle for QLC, a weaker controller, no DRAM, unreliable hardware, etc. This is not always a big deal, especially if the drive is intended to be a secondary gaming drive. In the PlayStation 5, however, extra cooling is beneficial, so it’s convenient to have a heatsink option available. At the same time, laptops favor bare drives and especially single-sided drives, the latter of which have been very rare with TLC until recently.

The typical capacity waypoints are as follows:At the core, an SSD is just a thin circuit board studded with flash-memory and controller chips. Why not design around that? Thus the M.2 form factor was born. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Egy jó minőségű SSD meghajtó a gyors számítógép alapeleme, így ha PC vagy notebook vásárlása vagy bővítése előtt áll, érdemes megfontolnia SSD meghajtó beépítését számítógépébe.

Egy jó minőségű SSD meghajtó a gyors számítógép alapeleme, így ha PC vagy notebook vásárlása vagy bővítése előtt áll, érdemes megfontolnia SSD... Even in mSATA's heyday, though, a replacement was in the works. During development, it was known as NGFF, for "Next-Generation Form Factor." As it took shape, though, it took on its current, final name: M.2. The drives would be smaller, potentially more capacious, and, most important, not necessarily reliant on SATA.That's not a bad thing. Especially in the case of laptops, an older machine might support only M.2 SATA-bus SSDs, and that will be the boundary of your upgrade path...end of story. As a result, the only reasons you'd upgrade the drive, in that situation, would be to get more capacity, or if the old one failed. We have tested both the original version of this drive, which had a heatsink and 96-layer flash, as well as the updated Gaming version which has a heatsink and 176-layer flash. Inland also has updated this model with that flash and now offers a 4TB capacity option, sans heatsink for all capacities. We do recommend a heatsink for heavier workloads, which can be added yourself if you don’t fancy the Gaming model of Inland’s line or need a 4TB option. Many of the first PCIe 5.0 SSDs come with active cooling solutions, meaning they have a fan attached to the heatsink. In contrast, the T700 has a stylish passive heatsink that does an admirable job of assuring top-notch performance. Crucial also offers the drive without a heatsink, thus allowing you to use either your own third-party cooler or the in-built motherboard M.2 heatsinks that are becoming increasingly popular. GB/s is here to stay with the introduction of Teamgroup’s Cardea Z540 SSD. It set multiple records in our testing, beating out even the very fast Crucial T700. If you want the best storage performance possible right now, this drive is it. Its consistent sustained performance and DirectStorage-optimized firmware are additional bonuses, making it a great choice for high-end desktop gaming or workstation tasks. Faster drives are on the way, including Team’s own Z54A, but with a slowing storage market this is the king for now.

TB kapacitású meghajtókat akkor érdemes választani, amikor még nincs hatalmas mennyiségű film-, zene és játékgyűjteménye. Egy 1 TB kapacitású SSD meghajtó elegendő hellyel rendelkezik az operációs rendszernek és komolyabb játékoknak, bőséges helyet hagyva a jövőben érkező programoknak és fájloknak. The first attempt was a new form factor called mini-SATA, or mSATA. The boiled-down essence of an SSD with the shell removed, an mSATA drive is a bare, rectangular circuit board. (Most mSATA drives relevant to upgraders measure about 1 by 2 inches.) mSATA drives fit into a special slot in a laptop's logic board or on a PC motherboard. As the name suggests, the slot is a conduit to the Serial ATA bus in the system. The interface on the drive end is an edge connector on the PCB, as opposed to the usual SATA cabling. The mSATA drive also draws all the power it needs through the slot. It's great if your desktop system can handle a PCIe 5.0 drive, but they are still new and expensive, so they aren't a requirement: For example, the PCIe 4.0 Samsung 990 Pro is our current choice for the best SSD overall, and the best SSD for gaming. This drive is rated for 7,450 / 6,900 MBps of sequential read/write throughput and 1.2 / 1.55 million read/write IOPS. That means less time waiting for game levels to load or videos to transcode, not to mention a snappier experience in Windows.Nowadays, though, many lean, premium laptops can make use of PCI Express-bus M.2 SSDs. (Just about all new desktop motherboards with M.2 slots also support PCI Express M.2 SSDs, too.) With these, you may see a substantive increase in performance in benchmark testing, but in most real-world usage, they'll just feel like a fast, premium SATA SSD. Az otthoni felhasználók számára szánt SSD-k kapacitása 120 GB-tól egészen 2 TB-ig terjed. Habár a tárhely kis mennyiségéből adódóan a 120 GB-os típusok a legolcsóbbak, ekkora kapacitás gyorsan szűkössé válhat, amikor már operációs rendszert és további programokat is szeretne rá telepíteni. Arról nem is beszélve, hogy egy adott SSD termékcsalád eltérő kapacitású modelljei közül mindig a legkisebb tárhelyű változat fog a legalacsonyabb írási- és olvasási sebességgel rendelkezni. Crucial's T700 is the world's fastest SSD, taking the hands-down performance lead in every performance category. That groundbreaking speed comes courtesy of the drive's PCIe 5.0 x4 connection, which offers a pathway for up to twice the throughput of PCIe 4.0 SSDs, and the Phison E26 SSD controller paired with Micron's leading-edge 232-Layer 3D TLC flash. That potent common creates an SSD that's the fastest on the market for PC game loading times. SSD Add-in Card (AIC): Az Add-In Card típusú SSD meghajtó legnagyobb előnye, hogy a két évtizede megalkotott SATA szabványhoz képest sokkal magasabb írási- és olvasási sebességre képes köszönhetően a PCI Express csatlakozónak, amelyen keresztül az alaplaphoz kapcsolódik. Természetesen ez azt is jelenti, hogy csak olyan összeállításban használható, ahol az alaplapon a videokártya által használt PCI Express csatlakozó mellett van még legalább egy szabad PCIe x4 vagy x16 hely, így amennyiben kompaktabb méretű számítógép házzal rendelkezik, vagy már van egy dedikált, azaz különálló videokártyája, Önnek nem ez lesz a megfelelő választás. Viszont amennyiben van elég hely a gépében és még üres PCI Express csatlakozó is rendelkezésre áll, az elérhető leggyorsabb SSD meghajtóval bővítheti a gépét. Az extrém gyors adatfeldolgozás természetesen megnövekedett hőtermeléssel is jár, amit az AIC kártyák a méretükkel jól tudnak kompenzálni.
