MSI PRESTIGE PS42 - Replacing Hard Disk & RAM. Replacing M.2 SSD with M.2 NVME.

What is M.2? The newest and most desirable form factor for solid-state drives is called M.2. These drives are about the size of a stick of gum and can hold just as much data as their 2.5" SSD counterparts. M.2 drives plug directly into the motherboard without the need for any extra cables, which makes them ideal for PC builds concerned with cable management or overall size. While all M.2 drives plug directly into the motherboard, there is a significant difference between sockets that determine the speed at which M.2 devices can function. There are a few ways to determine what type a M.2 drive is, but that will be covered later. It is important to remember that M.2 is considered only a form factor. M.2 drives are found in all kinds of devices, so it is essential to learn as much as you can about a drive before purchase. Without any other specifications, it is not enough information to tell you how the SSD will perform. The specification that informs you of how fast a storage device will function is the bus type. This is how the socket the device is connected to transfers data, and it will tell you what kind of performance to expect from your SSD. What is NVMe? Short for Non-volatile Memory Express, NVMe is a new technology utilized by some M.2 drives. This blazing-fast new bus type uses the PCIe data transfer lanes on the motherboard, similar to modern graphics cards. By using the PCIe connection, M.2 drives can reach speeds of over 4,000MB/s read and write. It is important to remember that NVMe itself is not a connection type but rather a protocol that utilizes a pre-existing PCIe connection. For the sake of abbreviation and simplicity, you may often hear NVMe protocols referred to as connections. The small size and fast speed of NVMe drives have been a massive leap in storage technology, rapidly becoming a standard on modern devices. With each new generation of NVMe SSDs, storage size is increasing along with transfer speeds. Newer motherboards even support multiple NVMe devices, almost eliminating cable clutter entirely.
