Installing a second M2 SSD for my games

[Harry Williams]

I've currently got 512GB WD Black™ M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD installed on my motherboard. Which is a ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming.

I want more space for my games and also have fast loading times, so was looking at adding a second M2 SSD but I'm not 100% sure which type I need to get.

My current SSD is installed in the following slot according to my manual:

1 x M.2 Socket 3 with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices support (PCie 3.0 x 4 mode)

My free slot is:

1 x M2. Socket 3 with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280 storage devices support (both Sata & PCie 3.0 x 4 mode)

Let me know if you need more information on my build, would appreciate some guidance on what sort of M2s to look at - don't want to waste money on something that's not compatible.

(lol delete some unused games then)

- definitely an easier solution! But after 15 years of building a library and the fact that most of the latest games require a stupid amount of space...I'm feeling the need for more storage.

This is all useful to know, I've read through that previous thread as well, thanks for your advice.

Thank you, that's around my price range so I think I've found what I'm looking for!
