Hi Ajith,


SATA interface will have its designated speed whether it is 2.5 inch form factor or M.2 form factor.

I'll just replace HDD with 2.5 inch SATA SSD or if I need dual drive combo, I'll add up a M.2 SATA SSD to its slot make it as boot drive and keep factory HDD for storage alone.

NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD is not compatible.

Hi,


YES,
You can either replace HDD with 2.5 SATA SSD or put a M.2 SATA SSD

Hi Visruth,

 

Thank you one again for the informations.

 

After watching the urls you provide, thinking to buy a M.2 SSD so i can install the OS and Apps and use my default 1TB as a storage purpose.

 

While search for a SSD, get confused about the terms and which one is best to buy

 

Can you suggest a best brand & perfomance SSD for me in 256 or 512 GB.

 

 

From the below video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn9YdyspKBo&t=196s
i come to know there are 2 options either via M.2 solt or a SATA

 

so which is better?

 

also which is the correct term to search with supplier?

M.2 SATA SSD  or  M.2 SSD why the SATA come in between? 

 

 

Regards,

Ajith

Hi Ajith,


SATA is the interface.

2.5 inch SATA is one form factor, M.2 SATA is another one.

You already got 2.5 inch SATA 1TB HDD for storage. So you can put M.2 SATA SSD in its slot and use it in dual drive mode.

This would be good brand: https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/solid-state-drives/ssd-850-evo-m-2-500gb-mz-n5e5...

Hi Visruth,

 

 

From our conversation, my understanding is now 512 GB M.2 SATA SSD have Up to 500 MB/s Sequential Read/Write Speed and it is better than a 5400rpm standard HDD with 100MB/s speed.

 

What is about the 128 GB M2 SATA-3 speed?

is this better than the SATA normal?,

is it compactable with this model? also NVMe module? 

 

https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/all-memory-storage/s/solid_state_drives-250_512g...

 

do you have any other suggetions to improve MAXX perfomance and speed via the second HDD option instead of m.2
