Looking for M.2 Drive.

Digital X · 13 Oct 2020 at 19:06

I have an ASUS Prime X470 Pro currently with a 120GB Samsung EVO SSD and 2TB Mechanical Drive.

I plan to go purely M.2 so there's less cables, noise etc.

Looking at the info on my Motherboard there is an M.2 Slot and M.2 Heatsink. Both in seperate spaces on the board. Can I fit 2 on here or just 1?

Not sure it would be best having a small boot and drive and large game drive, or one 2TB drive for everything.

Ok thanks guys.

Looking at this, https://www.overclockers.co.uk/wd-b...-solid-state-drive-wds100t2b0b-hd-54n-wd.html Can I do better for the price? Or should I go ahead?

Regarding the Motherboard it is this: https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/PRIME-X470-PRO/

Tenner more but won't quibble, thanks. That's pretty nippy looking at the speeds. Got a laptop with an NVME in and it's lightning fast on boot times.

Oh woops. OK thanks I'll get the SN550. Very new to M.2 so really no idea what to look out for.
