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

If you've already RGB'd your keyboard, mouse, video card, motherboard, case, and headphones, and are at a loss for what's left, the Spectrix S40G makes enough sense both in performance and looks to belong in any lighting-obsessed custom PC builder's arsenal.

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. SSD MTE720T features the 112-layer 3D NAND flash, a PCI Express (PCIe) Gen 4 x4 interface, and an 8-channel controller, compatible with NVM Express (NVMe) 1. Tailor-made for law enforcement and security departments, the rugged and highly responsive DrivePro Body 70 allows 2K QHD 1440P evidence collection and wireless data previews and transfers. PCIe Gen 3 operates at 8 GT/s (gigatransfers per second) which roughly translates to 1 GB/s per PCIe lane. mSATA was also unusual in that it piggybacked on an existing connector, known as Mini-PCI, often used for installing small onboard components such as compact Wi-Fi cards.During that time, I've built and torn down enough desktop PCs to equip a city block's worth of internet cafes. The drives would be smaller, potentially more capacious, and, most important, not necessarily reliant on SATA.

The combination of NVME, PCIe, and an SSD's lack of moving parts results in a quieter storage drive that sips power, extending battery life for laptops, notebooks, and tablets. In recent years, solid-state drives (SSDs) have migrated from the slab-like shapes of familiar hard drives into little sticks of memory that offer much the same capacities as their predecessors.

They are a drop-in replacement for hard drives and deliver up to 20x greater performance as well as high reliability. With built-in safety functions like a head-up display, emergency recording, and more, the DrivePro 620 is bound to protect your journey all round. And if you want to see strictly PCI Express-based SSDs, see our roundup of the best PCI Express NVMe drives. So when mobile-device designers, challenged with slimming down laptops and tablets, reassessed this issue, the consensus was clear: The bulky 2.

SSDs, followed by a detailed guide to everything you need to know about selecting the best one for your PC.This is a newer interface than SATA that features a smaller physical footprint, meaning it takes up less space in your computer and can exchange data 4 times faster.

SSD interface specification was originally known as the Next-Generation Form Factor, but the name was changed to M. NVMe internal solid-state drive, has a hard act to follow in the Editors' Choice-winning SSD 980 Pro, but for the most part it makes a great product even better.Common designations for the different SSD lengths are 22110, 2280, 2260, 2242, where the first 2 numbers stand for the width in mm and the last 2 numbers for the length in mm. Micron, the Micron logo, Crucial, and the Crucial logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of Micron Technology, Inc. These are indeed impressively fast drives, leaving the fastest SATA-based SSDs and hard drives well behind. This power-efficient drive gets high marks for raw speed, everyday application performance, a strong software suite, and hardware-based encryption.
