M 2 Ssd Micro Center

[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?

[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.

[3x 60 mm Fans] Great unit for a home rack with only 12 depth. I'd recommend rails though even if the unit is not that heavy. After an initial fan spinup very quiet, even if heavily used. It's in a closet in a family room and is not audible at all in the room. Using it with 10Gbit Fiber SFP and one of the integrated 2.5 Gbit interfaces. Great performance, 200MB/s write, 250MB/s read with NVMe M.2 SSD modules. Also great for security cameras, includes a license for up to 8 cameras. Running 6 cameras with ~20% CPU load. A few minor issues: - Could not get it running with Ethernet SFP modules (tried various), but rock solid with the fiber modules. But given that they consume less power/produce less heat anyway no real issue for me. - It would be nice if they included M.2 SSD heatsinks.

[2x Fan] Very happy with this SSD so far! I'm using it in a Raspberry Pi 5 with M.2 HAT and I haven't had any issues so far. (Yes, using this particular SSD is probably overkill!)

[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.

[1500 G] I have a recent Dell laptop that uses M.2 2230 SSD. The factory installed SSD didn't perform very well and didn't have the very good specifications for its price. I looked at the Sabrent Rocket 2230 and liked the much-improved specifications. It was worth the price. The laptop is noticeably faster in operation and seems to be more stable than it was with the factory SSD. I'd recommend the Sabrent to anyone looking to improve the performance of their device with a 2230 form factor SSD.
