I have a 1 TB Samsung M.2 boot drive and my old 2.5" SATA SSD. I plan on picking up a 2 TB M.2 SSD before long. I mainly play single player games. I have a lot of games I've tried on both HDD and SDD and I didn't notice a difference while playing the game. Now, I've heard it matters more when playing multiplayer.

Do your research if you are considering a pcie adapter for nmve cards. The x4 versions can fit in x16 slots if you dont have x4 slots on your board. x1 slot adapters will run at a limited speed but worth considering for extra storage - not gaming. Many boards do not have full bandwidth available to use all the pcie slots and nvme slots. My MSI board has a graphics card and 2 nvme cards installed. I can not use my second x16 slot or one of my x1 slots. They get disabled when the other slots are used. The motherboard manual will list your memory storage options.

12:53 That's a good option, using an add-on card for another SSD. But before going there, we should check our motherboard. All Standard-ATX mobos, most micro-ATX, and maybe an oddball ITX, have more than one m.2 slot. My ATX mobos have three each. And, of course, this isn't needed if you go with a SATA SSD. Great video, Jason. I was surprised to learn that 4TB has finally taken over the sweet spot from 2TB (but has it, really?), and I'd never seen an RGB heat sink.

It is not bad at all but not strictly necessary either. What is almost never told in these PC build guides is that if the system has only one drive, to partition that drive is very wise, because if you would have to reinstall Windows (or install/upgrade to newer version) then you do not have to save the files (your games and possibly personal stuff, music, photos, etc.) from the other partition(s) elsewhere. Because of this personally I always use a small, separate drive for the OS only, for me it is more convenient setup.

I managed to score myself a Crucial MX500 1TB back in October 2023 for just £45 off of Amazon so I'm feeling pretty smug about that right now especially considering current prices are near on double that atm. Well, technically I got it for free since someone was kind enough to send me a gift card to get it cos my HDD was driving me crazy, grinding to a halt and bottlenecking my entire system to the point that it would often freeze up and take a good 5-10mins to do a full shutdown/restart so this thing was an absolute godsend and breath of fresh air for an old system like mine, giving it a brand new lease of life. Even after all of these months I still can't get over how fast this thing is to boot up from sleep and restarts in the blink of an eye not to mention the fact it runs pretty cool and silent unlike my old HDD which was beginning to sound about as excrutiating as nails on a chalkboard lol

Hello, I wanted to ask if the problems of Samsung SSDs have been solved with the update, especially the 990pro series or not?

"If this had two M.2's on it, I'd want to see a x8 connector, etc" I agree this is ideal, but for people who don't have a larger slot available, this only matters if you're using both drives at the same time. Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that as long as you only use one drive on the adapter at a time (such as when playing a game), x4 will work without performance loss. I've even seen a card with four M.2's on it.

Hi Jason, I can't find any kind of info that indicate Klevv CRAS C910 have DRAM Cache, the official website and product sheet mention no such thing, can you confirm that the amazon listing is faulty?
