Different Types of SSDs: You Need to Know!

[@ThioJoe]

Almost as good as a liquid state drive

[@travisvaz]

ThioJoe Gas state drive is best.

[@Tiogar60]

Bah, plasma state drive is beast

[@Yanzinator]

+toastbroti dont you mean GSDs

[@rubenmisiuk8528]

Don't you mean helium fart drives?

[@youlol7331]

SATA 3 SSD's are still more than enough for most people anyway.

[@Sam120Mounsssef]

@ThioJoe 6 years later, still gold! (when one remembers to check what changed in 6 years) Your videos have always helped me and millions of others to take enlightened decisions, and i wanted to let you know that even your older videos still make considerable difference in the lives of millions of subscribers and their loved ones (i am watching this video to pick the right NAS for my business, this is part of how i make a living so i am not exaggerating). Thank you for making these videos available and thank you for making the information so actionable. Thank you for being like this years ago and now still. You are amazing!

[@troyke]

You have become my new go-to source of Hardware knowledge! I love your modest, unassuming narrative style, and your explanations are so clear and comprehensive! Keep up the awesome work!

[@neilcrowley3646]

Message yo Thio Joe. Most people I know that watch your wonderful videos do NOT comment and know as I do that everything you teach WORKS ! WE APPRECIATE YOUR BRILLIANCE AND NOT BE DISCOURAGED OR STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING. YOU ARE SORELY NEEDED. I AM AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER AND ACKNOWLEDGED YOUR WISDOM! THANK YOU FROM MANY OF YOUR LOYAL FOLLOWERS !

[@MrX-nh1xm]

Thanks for the info , it enriched my Knowledge of SSDs !

[@adamkee97]

I have learnt A LOT from this video! Thanks!!!

[@TheWaterTester]

Nice to see that you included Optane drives in this even though they are still very new. Think it would have been good idea to just to mention SSHDs too even though they aren't exactly SSDs, though it might have needed more explanation too.

[@MsUltrafox]

The latest motherboards can hold up to 4 M.2 drives. And using M.2 saves on cables because you don't really need any old fashion form drives.

[@radumurzea6112]

Very nice video. I actually had some holes in my knowledge on this subject. Thank you for filling the gaps :) .

[@petercraig6990]

Very clear, calm and educational approach of several topics easy to confuse.👍👍👍👍👍

[@davidlp6510]

that cleared a whole bunch of doubts that I had. Thanks for the info.

[@tonyme7426]

M.2 comes in two flavours. PCIe and SATA. SATA is still the same 6gb/s as a normal SATA interface where as PCIe uses the availiable PCI lanes so offering differing speeds (still faster than SATA). They also have different hardware connections (Interfaces).

[@FaribaAsvadi]

Cool, fast and concise...

[@SparrowHawkPilot]

This guy has it going-on with just the info you need. Now I can get it going myself. Thanx.

[@thatguyvince8767]

Great review. I've been out of the game for a while so it was good to get some info so I can modify my machine!

[@rexaresev7]

Great Lesson today. Very good stuff. I had questions. Great Job.

[@Sageylee]

Really informative and helpful! Thank you.

[@arlvargas61]

That is a great explanation. Thank you Joe.

[@richard8181]

VERY WELL presented, love your work.

[@voiceofreason5893]

Great video. Well put together and good delivery. Nice job.

[@TanManNobel]

9:30 is where it actually starts.

[@AzVidsPro]

Actual good content. This video took a lot of work to explain.Nice

[@JavArButt]

Thank you a lot for this video - all the minutes I spend on watching your video were worth it - you obviously know, what you were talking about

[@JMagno]

You increased my knowledge about SSD vs hard drives. Thank you!

[@nevaiddd]

Wow ... amazing video...you covered all the topics concerning SSD...great work💗

[@phantomphreak]

Thanks for the clear information on the different types of SSDs I love your content please keep up the excellent work ThioJoe.

[@Jamy4ya]

Ofcoz Joe, it was very informative video without a doubt. Waiting for more videos like this ....

[@patrickmusson4571]

I knew about most of this, but I watch because I like the way you explain things. I didn't know about the U.2 and I am not sure why. Usually I keep a really close eye on these things, so thanks for explaining it. Your channel is one of the few that I have the 'ringing bell' icon pressed, always good value, your vids are.

[@orangy1453]

I like your channel so much!

[@DineshMuthe]

Great information.... Thank you

[@n1trodogg]

The most useful vid on SSD for the consumer I've found. Great job!

[@johnreynolds6074]

Thanks, the video is a nice complete description

[@77TOWERS]

Thank you so much awesome videos, do you think you will do a video on how to enable nvme, cause all the videos I've seen are not helpful, again thank you

[@ZacharyOtt]

Every time you said PCIe express I twitched a bit.

[@zynan]

Great overview and explanation.

[@יהונתןסופרין]

Not all the m.2 drive are pci-e, some of them actually use sata. Most of laptop use this. It is worth to mention

[@ripwpthet-rex3378]

Thank you for the info! Really Awsm vid! Keep it up thio!

[@malekonlineservice9997]

thanks for your information

[@saurabhbehere5435]

thanks @ThioJoe

[@amalsajeev7096]

Superbb explanation.. keep it up 👍👍

[@bigbigfizzi]

Very useful info. My appreciation!

[@LibertyLeslie]

wow....thanks. Priceless.

[@duckdogers4438]

Thank you for providing great info.

[@tahakhidr]

Thanks. Love ur explanations

[@ThelabRat79]

Thank you very much. Thanks to you I am now a much more educated person. And the way you explain is simply amazing. Thank you

[@ChrisCanadianHusky]

Doesn't matter what SSD you get. As long as you replace the hard-drive for the OS it's going to be stellar.

[@EricEsser]

I am Chris or not. An 8k prores HQ video stream at 60fps has a single stream data rate of about 7.5gbps. Multicam 4k prores 444 even at 30fps and you’re in the same ballpark or more. A sata ssd would not give you a stellar experience for either of those tasks, whereas an nvme drive would do the trick nicely.

[@82NeXus]

@@EricEsser Ok, but pretty sure by the comment he meant the average home computer not a video editing computer. That said, have you considered using a server or workstation motherboard with say, 512GB RAM. Then use say, 480GB of it as a RAM drive. Have an NVMe drive as well and use the RAM drive software or other software to continually backup to that? ... Although at your data rate it would only store about 8.5 mins of video - heh.

[@MrBrianms]

Thanks for that amazing advice. I like it a lot.

[@NaganathanSandramohan]

Very informative video

[@jpdj2715]

You missed the essence, IMO. On most motherboards all I/O connectors dangle off a switch called Southbridge. That has 4 PCIe lanes to the CPU for all I/Os. That switch may offer a PCIe NVME even with theoretical speed. Latency is caused by the switch and time sharing or multiplexing of a couple CPU lanes across a boatload of I/O lanes. If you have an M.2 NVME card and want it to really perform, then buy a cheap PCIe adapter so as to have it on real PCIe lanes directly into the CPU. the best adapters are passive and will only do some voltage regulation. Check motherboard and CPU specs to see you have enough PCIe lanes, though. If you have 28 lanes and use two 16 lane GPU cards. With 40 lanes, you can have 2x 16 lane GPUs and 2x 4 lane NVME. You'd be surprised how fast your disappointing card can be.

[@82NeXus]

Do the M.2 connectors connect to the southbridge or northbridge or direct to the PCIe interface on the CPU though? I wonder if the PCIe-only M.2 connectors connect direct to the CPU? If so, perhaps they're a bit faster.

[@devviz]

6:11 form factor *is* connector

[@StacyFrancis94]

It's like you are my professor. Thank you so much for your videos.

[@peterg91]

Excellent video, thank you !

[@dandeeman9328]

Amazingly good information video. I was actually understanding this up to the 10-minute mark then I suffered brain overload.

[@TheTeknoDiva]

Can ANY newer PC /Laptop - Convertable use PCSi? My HP ENVY -does it have the slots?

[@mgiannelis]

What Camera are you using? Great Video Quality.

[@deletedaccount5250]

Great video a ton of info thanks

[@MrMouzaki]

thnaks fr all the info

[@Knotdead73]

Knowledge impressive Thio

[@EdgarLagos]

very helpful, thanks a lot!

[@rhm504]

Thank you for summing up all these new abbreviations regarding SSDs in an easy to follow video. I stopped keeping track when they moved from IDE to SATA. I got distracted by my (ex)girlfriend and college education, neither of which I am using now. Actually I lie. I saw you had another video for speeding up an internet connection. After watching this very well made video, I wondered what you had to say. As I watched that video, things didn't make any sense. However, I kept giving you the benefit of the doubt (he must mean modem, not router. He's probably going to use the batteries in something or take them apart . He must mean cable between modem and ISP, not router and modem). From my recollection of college physics, the info on how a transformer works seemed correct, though I didn't quite know how you were going to apply it. Once you grabbed the patch cable, I realized it wasn't going to work. When you wrapped the wire around the first battery, I started laughing, and read description/comments. Thank you for the laugh. So to sum it up. Again, thank you for THIS informative video, your delivery during the joke video was very good, and I'll resume not using my college education or know where my (ex)girlfriend even is right now (probably China or Mars).

[@rsxyzs]

“PCIe Express”

[@AmyraCarter]

So, tell me this, Joe. When will we start using Crystalline Drives?

[@amaxamon]

I just have everything slaved to 6 IBM 704's in the basement. You need a good supply of vacuum tubes, tho.

[@bedlamnfse]

great video bruv, i build pc,s and sure the info you give is going to help out the new builders out there...great stuff :-)

[@SmartTechMalayalam]

*Super* *Video* *Bro* 😍😍😍😘👍👍

[@linbluearrowmusicchannel6508]

ThioJoe Informative video.

[@TerryKashat]

How and what do you check to see if it’s in NVMe mode?

[@mmmyyy4714]

thank you for sharing.

[@kennystrawnmusic]

Still waiting for someone to start churning out programmable-metallization-cell SSDs. Would make even data center hard drives obsolete given that PMC can both tolerate a lot more writes due to lower voltages *and* can also store a lot more.

[@2wheelsonfire221]

Can you plug a SSD PCIe x 4 into a PCIe x 16 slot?

[@badabusinessibc9702]

Very useful video..

[@chinmaygupta1530]

what ssd do you have btw, joe? can you do a video about your build?

[@buckm3183]

Very informative.

[@muddyexport5639]

Thanks!

[@chrisstokley7687]

Thx... now i know what to build! Gameing + want the edge on speed. nvme.2 seems way to go..

[@k.s.naturalist6852]

Great video. Doe NVME card plugs into the M.2 ssd Slot!

[@MeBeMesni]

Interesting info

[@ZombineCia]

This really helped me choose an SSD, thanks!

[@ChozoSR388]

U.2? Has Bono heard about this?

[@orkhepaj]

probably no as it is not crap as his "music"

[@ChozoSR388]

U2 has some good music, so I don't know what you're on about.

[@orkhepaj]

nah it doesnt have any good music , i hate them all , cant stand it

[@ChozoSR388]

Well, we'll just agree to disagree, shall we?

[@orkhepaj]

no, it is crap music

[@magnus87]

Hi, do you know if the Alienware 15 (R1) M2 Slot supports PCIE, SATA or both?

[@TerryKashat]

SATA should be automatically supported since . . . forever. PCIe and M.2 if you bought your computer within the last 3 years you could make a confident bet its supported.

[@KylesDigitalLab]

What camera do you use it's really good quality my videos are just all grainy and bad

[@markanderson2155]

Downside of a NVME on board is if you use it you loose 2 SATA ports on the board. Until they address this issue I will stick with mechanical drives. If prices come down on SSD's then I would use it, primarily for the boot drive. For long term storage I will still use a mechanical drive.

[@VacancyJB]

thanks, learned something.

[@LatitudeSky]

Still solid info 4 years later. Except for the bit about Optane. Yeah nah. That didn't go anywhere. Forgive me for laughing at the idea competitors might have their own version. Four years ago, nobody knew what was actually going to happen.

[@hewfrebie2597]

Can you please make a video of Solid State Hybrid Drive (SSHD)?

[@TerryKashat]

3 years later. Hybrid Drives have been irrelevant since right about the time you posted this. No reason to get one for normal applications. I don’t even think they’re an option for normal home and office use anymore.

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Great info.

[@chunkemonke777]

People that don't watch this guy: ooh,ooh, I should buy a scsi connector ssd!

[@compscript7973]

Are 6GB/s SSD drives faster than 6GB/s HHD? Do I need to worry about a SATA 3 working in my old computer?

[@chinmaygupta1530]

I just did a presentation about storage mediums for german class, wish this video came out a week ago...

[@marindelgado5638]

What you thing about the sea gate 2t firecuda for game.

[@SalilChoudhary83]

Hello Theo, Can any of these SSD be used in a ExpressCard 34/54 slots ??

[@jeremiahlyleseditor437]

Hey Joe What type of M.2 or NVME can fit into a WIFI card slot?

[@AliceAttentionWhore]

Thank you.

[@SamsterBirdies]

Now if only they could make ssds affordable id be interested.

[@plaxunlumilost2206]

sorry for this but what type of ssd drive you recomend for a pavilion 15 laptop? nvidea 970

[@koolalientwist]

how to know what mode your ssd is using or what type it is?

[@Sam120Mounsssef]

[@CatFace8885]

PCIe 3.0 isn't the latest version. The latest revision is version 4.0, but it's still being rolled out.

[@ps3aciv]

video starts at 17:40
