M.2 SSD Question.

[bigc55]

Good afternoon.

I'm building a new computer.

I want to use an M.2 SSD (mobo supports it) for just the OS and a couple of 2.5" SSDs for apps and storage. I'm going to use 32GB of RAM in machine. Will a 128GB M.2 SSD work for this situation or should I go bigger?

Thanks.

I would get a bigger one. Also bear in mind M.2 may use 2 SATA ports for its bandwidth.

So, make sure there's enough sata ports on the mobo , if you're going to install 2 SSD's

with 32gb of ram unless you disable/delete hibernation and lower or remove the page file you wont have much room left on a 128gb

My Mobo is ASRock Z97 Killer X. Is it worth going with 32BG RAM or should i stick to just 16?

So I'd be better with a 256gb M.2

my choice 256gb m2 and 16gb of ram unless you are doing really hard core stuff that needs 32gb of ram

If I decide to stay with 32GB is a 256GB m.2. good enough for just the OS?

yes 256gb is enough--you can disable hibernation-or i just delete the hyberfil.sys file--sleep still works fine

and can reduce pagefile size or move it off the C drive
