1Tb M 2 Ssd Drive

[16:10] Powerful laptop with the latest top mobile CPU and second from the top GPU that Intel and nVidia have to offer in mid-2024, it has operated well for me over the last month that I have owned it. Today I upgraded it by adding a 2TB Samsung 990 NVME M.2 SSD into the "SSD2" location on the ASUS MB and it initialized and formatted flawlessly in Windows 11. So I now enjoy a total of 3TB storage, with the original 1TB Hynix M.2 SSD acting as the boot drive (drive 0; "C" drive) and the new drive as secondary storage (drive 1; "D" drive). With the 32GB of DDR5 SODIMM RAM this laptop far exceeds the performance benchmarks of my 9-year-old Skylake desktop in capabilities; except the ability to run cool and silent. I've noted that the CPU temperature does max out under heavy gaming, but it hasn't noticeably affected gameplay [ESO only]. Alas, in my limited experience with laptops, they just never seem to handle peak loads without hitting thermal limits on the CPU. I may have to invest in one of those cooling devices I've seen that support the laptop and dissipate some of the heat produced; but I probably won't do it unless I actually see a problem or get tired of the fans spinning up to top speed (they can be loud, but headphones help). One or two performance cores have hit 100 C [using hwmonitor] max. So far I have no complaints.

[4 TB] The first step was installing it in a Sabrent model EC-PCIE NVMe M.2 SSD TO PCIe X16/X8/X4 CARD WITH ALUMINUM HEAT SINK (which I DO NOT recommend). That was so this Oyen M.2 SSD could be used in a PCI-e slot. (Basically the problem with the Sabrent adapter was that none of the thermal pads were the right thickness, and there was no guidance on their usage in the instructions. I took my best guess and moved on.) The next step was plugging it into a PCI-e slot on my HP Z640 Workstation's motherboard. I then updated my PC to the latest BIOS. When I booted into Windows 10, I didn't see a new drive. That's because I needed to use the WIndows Disk Management tool to create a partition and then a volume. After that, the drive was visible and usable.

[Intel Iris Xe ] 12 cores, 16 threads..then add 1 TB M.2 SSD & 64 GB RAM..all in a package smaller than an old-school alarm clock. Open by loosening the four feet screws & very carefully open it up so as to not rip out the ribbon cable connecting the two halves. I wish they had models with at lease three network connectors so I can roll my own pfSense firewalls.

[1500 G / 0.5 ms] Exclusive samsung ssd and m.2 user for 15 years. No failures yet.

[Full Height] The ASUS Hyper m.2 Card is the best M.2 card on the market. Slots to add up to 4(four) M.2 SSDs to your computer. Hyper m.2 card comes in well-built sleek looking card with a built-in cooling fan for the SSD's. What more could you want?

[0.1 lb] Computer recognized it without any trouble. It is working very well with my new 1TB SSD drive. Computer runs better than new!

[13 W] arrived disassembled which was ready for install of M.2 SSD quickly. plugged in and worked with both Mac and Windows with a known working m.2 drive.

[Yes, RAID 0/1] Added 4 Samsung m.2 ssd cards to this and blazing fast under raid 0 even via the old PCIe 3 connection. The card will slightly bend when you put on all the thermo pads and tighten the heat sink but otherwise perfect. No sound and heat managed very well.

[Integrated] Fast 13th Gen processor, fast M.2 SSD, sturdy metal case, Windows 11 Pro. It could use more video ports and USB type C ports but for the price, this is acceptable.
