  • Communication Protocol

    Most SSDs use SATA III or PCI Express.

    Almost all 2.5" SSDs connect via SATA III while most M.2 SSDs connect via PCI Express.


    PCI Express connection offers higher speeds, but this is mainly noticeable in demanding applications (high-resolution video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and is not necessary for everyday use.

    PCI Express 3.0

    Connecting to the PCI Express expansion port of the motherboard. Equally popular way of connecting SSD hard drives directly to the motherboard. This connection offers the highest speeds.

  • Write Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data recording. The larger the size, the faster the data recording.

    For an SSD that uses the SATA III protocol, the average recording speed is 300MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 1200MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

  • Read Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data reading. The larger the size, the faster the data reading speed.

    An average reading speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 600MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 2000MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

Capacity
500 GB

Capacity

The golden ratio of cost and capacity for now is 500GB and 1TB.

For gaming or professional programs that require a lot of space for their installation, a capacity of at least 500GB is recommended. 

As an indication, a 1TB hard drive can hold about 250 thousand photos taken with a 12MP camera or 250 movies.

Form Factor
M.2 (Type 2280)

Form Factor

The term form factor refers to the physical size of SSDs. The motherboard must support the form factor of the SSD in order for it to be installed.


The higher speeds offered by an NVMe drive are mainly applicable to demanding applications (such as high-definition video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and are not necessary for everyday use.

M.2 (Type 2280)
The motherboard must support the form factor in order for the SSD to be installed on it. It is worth noting that M.2 drives are divided into those that use the SATA protocol and those that use PCI Express. Of the SSDs that use the PCI Express protocol, most also support NVMe technology, which allows them even faster speeds if supported by the motherboard.

These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable. 
Write Speed
940 MB/s

Write Speed

Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data recording. The larger the size, the faster the data recording.

For an SSD that uses the SATA III protocol, the average recording speed is 300MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 1200MB/s.

Maximum 4KB Random Write
-

Maximum 4KB Random Write

Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk in data recording during general use, for example (opening the computer/using applications). The larger the size, the faster it is in these functions.

Average read speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 80,000 IOPS, while for one with NVMe it is 380,000 IOPS.

These differences make sense in particularly demanding use (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

    H Crucial is an awesome company but they messed up here. This disk is qlc while it was advertised as tlc. This means it's slow and not what the company promises. Very bad product from an exceptional company. (However, if you see it below 145 euros, it will be a good price.)

    I have him for about three months and on my own Ryzen with B450 he is very fast! He plugged in without any problem and with heavy usage (not gaming but with many other demanding programs simultaneously) he works like a charm..

    I spent two days searching why my new setup doesn't open with this card, doing countless restarts. I let it warm up once, and it's fine. From stress tests, it says it's all over the place, even if it's worth money per specs, it's not worth the trouble and the labor. I would return it if I had the chance
