Sure thing. I have a more recent video comparing the speeds of M.2 vs SATA SSD vs SATA magnetic HD kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oZtddq95sp66qHk.html I found a bit surprising results which I would like to hear your opinion about.

@Primus32 5 жыл бұрын

@@Cobuman Your comparison video is great, however, there are a few factors that need to be addressed. Your speed test starts with a 500 gig sata ssd. Then you go to the 250 m.2. The reason your speeds are so close together on those 2 drives are a fact of TBW which you can look at as, say the cashe. You noticed how both started out fast and then slowed down a little, that's because the 500 drive has a longer TBW than the 250. Each drive has a tbw or total bytes written threshold. the biger the tbw the longer the drive will hold that transfer rate b4 slowing down.even though the 5000 gig is a sata interface, it still has a larger tbw. thats why the speeds were relatively close in time. I am using a Pcie adapter with my 1tb m.2. I am also going to migrate my OS to that drive after cleaning up a bit. Thanks for the info in both videos. Nice work on the comparison. Keep up the great work.

Would have been nice to talk about what BIOS changes are necessary for compatibility because you quickly gloss over that without any detail. For this drive to be bootable, your BIOS has to find this card as a UEFI bootable device. In some cases, you might need to enable PCI-e bifurcation (which is basically just splitting the PCIe lanes for read and write). Most importantly, you'll need to be sure that your CPU has enough PCIe lanes available to access this disk. A dual GPU or high-end GPU might be taking most. It doesn't matter how many PCIe slots your motherboard has, most commonly the CPU does not have the lanes to address all of them.

@whoknewit1844 5 жыл бұрын

I think you might be confusing people with the way you referred to PCIe slots. There are four different PCI Express slot types. They can be differentiated by their physical size. PCI Express cards use the x1, x4, x8 and x16 sizes, which reflect how many individual data connector lanes the card supports. The number following the "x" in the name is mathematically relevant to the size of the card connector. For example: a x8 slot is twice the size of a x4 slot, and a x16 slot is four times as large as a x4 slot. The color of the slot is manufacturer dependent and is not consistent across all computers. In terms of PCIe speed, there are five PCIe versions with increasing levels of throughput from 1 to 5. The PCIe controller will throttle down to match the speed of the card if it is less than the speed of the slot.

The screw and standoff for the SSD are not screwed down correctly. There should be a gap between the SSD and the surface of the underlying PCB. This standoff should stick through the hole loosely and the half hole of the SSD should seat against the standoff and screw. The socket spring tension will keep the shoulder of the standoff in contact with the underlying PCB. They didn't just include a nut instead of the standoff for this reason.

On your close-up, the white PCI slot ALSO says X1 PCI (aka PCIe X1), just like your smaller format black ones. So, you are actually only running your PCIeX4 card at PCIe-X1 speeds. So, you should see even more speed if you have a proper spec PCIe-X4 slot to perform these steps on.

That's what the top port is for. The Sata port on the card lets you plug in an nvme into it and then you plug that sata cable into the motherboard sata socket. It converts the nvme from it's native bus type to the sata bus type. It lets you use older mother boards that don't support pci-e nvme support.

Yeah I totally agree. About the only technical reason for using one of these cards _might_ be some kind of IOP or sustained read/write advantage over an SSD? I doubt you'd see any real world difference though. Personally I just buy more ram and use a WD black or even a couple of cheap drives in raid 1 or raid 0 will give a good speed boost to an old PC. You can get some fairly cheap and good raid cards that support PCI-E v2 for about $100USD that will support 4 or 8 drives. I used to use a perc 5i and that gave some really good sustained speeds with 4 drives in raid 0.

@keneglinton1347 Жыл бұрын

@@skilletpan5674 yeah thats not how that works bud-nvme doesnt convert to sata-the sata port on the card only accepts m.2 sata ssd which has 2 little tabs whereas m.2 nvme has the single "b" tab on the right-older chipsets can work just fine with m.2 nvme and pcie adapter card provided the mobo has at least pcie 2.0-using clover bootloader allows you to even boot from the nvme ssd-you take a performance hit from 3.0 to 2.0 but its still WAY faster that a 2.5 inch sata ssd-the card he is using is junk

Hope you are well. I'm using a old version of PC which motherboard is Gigabyte GA-B85M-HD3 and the CPU is Intel CORE-i3 4th Gen. Also for your nconcern I'm using SATA HDD for my storage. Now I want upgrade my storage to NVME M.2. I have one PCIEX16 slot which is used for graphics card. And have two PCIEX1 slot. I want to use the PCIEX1 slot for NVME using a adapter. Now my question is can I have the best performance from NVME card using PCIEX1 slot. Or I'll go simply to SATAIII SSD?

Very helpful and easy to understand 👍 I was wondering, would an adapter like this work on my ASUS H110M plus motherboard? I really want to try out the 970 EVO without having to upgrade all my other parts. I don't have a pcie x4 on my board, I have a PCIe 2.0 x1. Do you know any other adapter like that would you used that would work for me? Hope you can help. Cheers.

There are adapters that will work with PCIE x1 amzn.to/2VTzldW but they are not faster than regular SATA 3.0 so don't waste your money on that. Standard SSD is good enough unless you do video editing or such.

Installed a 1TB SanDisk M.2 SSD drive with the help of your video. Read/write on the installed drive was so fast I couldn't even see how fast it was! Question: would there be any speed advantage in also having the VIDEO EDITING program on this drive along with the video files? That's as opposed to having the editing program on boot drive C:, which is also an SSD.

@mariodasilva8729 2 жыл бұрын

It's got 2 NGFF slots, so can you use TWO at the same time? Will it be combined as one, or TWO Locations for date storage? What about the HEAT that THE SSD dissIpates when used above 1TB/ heat sinks needed? THANX!

They are both 16x but the white one runs on pcie 2.0 and black is 3.0. Either way, black should be faster.

@Cobuman 4 жыл бұрын

That's a good question. It's up to you really. The adapter is pretty cheap $18 amzn.to/32Vnsn8; and if you decide to use more than one m.2 SSD it could come in handy.

@TheBroodingTom 4 жыл бұрын

@@Cobuman Thanks for fast reply! LOL I just looked inside my machine and there is no M.2 slot anyway, so the adapter would have to be a thing. But actually I have a new question. (sorry to bug you) Wouldn't a normal SSD be all I need if my SD card only reads at 170MB/s? (I saw 300MB/s transfer speed in your video unless I'm wrong) Or to to ask it a different way, does it make any since upgrading beyond what my SD card can do. My issue is I'm still using HDD and have 8GB ram, BOTH of these things are getting upgraded ASAP! Cause I edit 4K video and RAM is starved, also, just one video could take up to 100GB of storage alone so getting a 1T SSD just makes since. I already have the USB adapter for my SD card so I can use 3.0 speed. But that is bottlenecked by my HDD (I get about 80-90MB's) and want to have the full advertised speed... Have you ever tried to transfer 100GB of video? It takes a minute or 2! I only recently learned about the SD card adapter, so before that I had to suffer through 34MB/s transfers... that took 30 minutes! So even the 90MB/s from SD card adapter is SO MUCH better. Sorry for writing a long story xD

@Cobuman 4 жыл бұрын

@@TheBroodingTom I work with 4K video often so I know what you mean by large file size. :) Yes, a typical SSD like Samsung 860 Evo amzn.to/34WVGZd Reads and write around 500mb/s on SATA 3; which makes a huge difference when editing videos. What I do is temporary keep the 4K video on m.2 (1500mb/s) while editing-after I store on something else. Imagine, you drag and drop video then start editing a 4k video pretty much right away (3 seconds on my pc).

did you configure any changes in the Bios? reason I ask because I have the Asus Prime z390-A Board and has 2 M.2 and both are occupied but my boards not PCIe 4 Gen 4.0 it's just a PCIe Gen 3.0 but x16 lanes since I already have both M.2 slots poplutated and I want to add one of these PCIe Expansion Adapters M.2 and put a WD_BLACK 1TB SN770 NVMe will the Transfer Rates Run fast? since the other 2 slots are occupied wont that Split the transfer rates to like Lesser or maybe cut it in half?

No BIOS changes, but you can download the specific driver for the m.2. The speed should be the as advertised.

Question : Will this work with an Asus Z87-a motherboard? My one pcie 3.0 16x has a 1070 in it, so if I put a m.2 ssd into the second 3.0 16x pcie with the adaptor, it should work right? This also isn't going to be a boot drive, I'm going to just load video games onto it.

Yes, it will work fine. Just make sure you allocate space afterwards if it does not show up in OS. Instructions are in this video.
