Almost as good as a liquid state drive

Do a video like this about RAM!

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Really informative and helpful! Thank you.

I love where you're going with this channel..

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

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

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

That is a great explanation. Thank you Joe.

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

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

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!

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 !

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

VERY WELL presented, love your work.

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

Thanks, the video is a nice complete description

Great overview and explanation.

Cool, fast and concise...

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

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

Thank you for providing great info.

I like your channel so much!

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

Very useful info. My appreciation!

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

Thanks for sharing this info!

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.

Excellent video, thank you !

Great information.... Thank you

9:30 is where it actually starts.

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

Thanks. Love ur explanations

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

wow....thanks. Priceless.

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

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.

thnaks fr all the info

Very informative video

Great video a ton of info thanks

ThioJoe Informative video.

thanks for your information

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).

Knowledge impressive Thio

very helpful, thanks a lot!

thanks @ThioJoe

Superbb explanation.. keep it up 👍👍

Very useful video..

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 :-)

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

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

Very informative.

thanks, learned something.

Thanks!

thank you for sharing.

Thank you.

Interesting info

Bestest / Easiestest to follow explanation I've found on this subject. Thank you.

Great info.

Every time you said PCIe express I twitched a bit.

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

What Camera are you using? Great Video Quality.

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

great video

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).

This really helped me choose an SSD, thanks!

Nicely informative video on ssd technology. Maybe later as ssd technology advances - ssd drives could say use more then 4 pcie lanes for better performance. Maybe even go up to using 16 lanes ( X16 ) with various configurations in between allowing the pricing to be relative to the drives performance. Say have a M.2 ssd that's an X16 model with the best flash memory vs a x4 model with say cheaper flash memory that would out perform hdd's but not the higher end ssd drive.

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.

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

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

You’re the man

I got M.2 on my latitude e7470

Thanks bru

Optane is awesome. 3D XPoint Technology.

Thx for the explanation, very useful. One question -- if you are considering a PCIe SSD drive how do you determine if your computer can boot from it. IOW, if you are not just using the SSD for storage but also have the system partition on it I've been told that many PCIe slots are not "bootable". Hopefully, my question is clear and thx again.

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

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

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

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

*Super* *Video* *Bro* 😍😍😍😘👍👍

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.

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.

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

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

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

6:11 form factor *is* connector

Recently bought a DELL with 32GB Optane. The Machine loads so fast I can barely see it!

i have a 160gb hdd from 2008.. nice video xd

In general how much difference in speed is there between PCIe and SATA on an M.2 connection? Does the M.2 connector limit PCIe at all to make them comparable or is PCIe still much faster?

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

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

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

Hey Thiojoe first of all just want to say big big thank you for your tips and dips about hard and ssd drive! now my question is i am into Photography and doing lot of Editing. so which is the best SSD drive should i get for my Laptop i got an HP NOTEBOOK 15-af153sa AMD Quad-core A6-6310 Accelerated Processor -1TB HARD DRIVE -4096MB DDR3 SDRAMWindows 10 please let me know which is the best one or what would i updrade to ?much thanks for your help and kindness thanks Reynauld thomas
