m.2

Issue: My D drive will work for a little bit then disconnect, it won't show back up till I remove the M.2 and place it back in. Then it will work for a little bit and disconnect again. I have moved it from one socket to another and it's still the same. My C drive works just fine, it's in socket...

Hello. I recently ran out of space on my SSD with my OS on it, so I figured I’d buy a larger one. Bought a Samsung m.2 card on amazon and plugged it into the m.2 slot on my Asus Maximus VII Hero LGA1150 Motherboard. The card was receiving power but not being recognized in disk manager. That is...

Just bought a new Dell XPS 15 (9520) with the specs indicated below. I deliberately didn't spring for the upgraded hard drive as Dell wanted close to $300 to get to a 2tb drive and so I'm going to buy one and upgrade myself - very comfortable with opening laptops etc. My question is about which...

Hi, My Gigabyte B550M DS3H has two M.2 slots, one of which is fiendishly placed just under the graphics card, so despite having slapped in a side fan, it still tends to run hot (in the low 40ºC when not doing very much). (The other sensibly placed M.2 slot is also in use by the system drive...

Hello everyone! My motherboard uses PCIe 3.0 x4. I'm thinking of getting an NVMe with a maximum read speed of 3500MB/s. Is there any difference between choosing a PCIE 4.0 NVMe that has 3500MB/s or PCIE 3.0 NVMe that ALSO has 3500MB/s. What would perform better?
