  • 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.

  • 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

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.

    I have said in my previous comments and I will say it again.. I am a person who values for money and generally wants to get something that is worth the money always!
    This particular 'drive' surpasses by far in speeds the samsung 970 evo and to a small extent the evo plus 970.. wd sn750 and non-branded well-known brands make them trash..
    I didn't sit down to measure speeds, just as an indication, with copy-cut/paste speeds it had over 300Mbps in the windows task manager and while I already had 3 programs open.. which makes it capable for EVERYTHING! I have to say that so far, I haven't seen in office use over 40% usage.. WITH ALL THE BACKGROUND PROGRAMS I HAD.. (105 not really, it's the number of subprograms plus the already installed ones of windows..)
    THE VERSION OF 500GB THAT I HAVE TAKEN IS NOT THE SAME AS THE 1TB OR THE 250.. as the capacity increases, so does the speed! Something a little strange at first, but if one thinks about it, they will see that it really should be like that.. THIS HAPPENS WITH ALL NVME DRIVES NOT ONLY WITH CRUCIAL! I'M NOT BEING MEAN!

    No problem installing on Dell G5 5587. It is indeed as fast as Crucial promises. Definitely format before installing any software.
