m.2 ssd

Hi, I was away from my computer for about 6 months and after setting up my computer again, I noticed that one of my two SSDs shows as unallocated. I use this M.2 drive as my secondary drive, with the other SSD being my boot drive. I tried going through a couple of forums of people with similar...

Good day! As I’m still new to changing out hardware in PCs, I thought it’d be good to ask here before I venture out and do something silly. I’ve just purchased a new SSD, this time one that uses the M.2 slot. Today, I just use an ordinary, quite old SSD that utilizes a SATA cable to connect...

Hi All, Since my ASUS N751JX laptop started to get a little slow, I decided to update it with a SSD drive instead of the current HDD. I chose the Samsung 970 EVO NVMe M.2. drive, as this is supposed to be a future proof option. I connected it to my motherboard in the M.2. slot with my HDD...
