Nvme m2 drives

I'll second the SN770 but also add the p3 plus, all good drives

TBF i'd just look for what cheap, as ling as you get pcie 3.0x4 or faster your never going to notice the differance
 
B550 version
If it's you first drive, then get one without a heatsink and use the motheboard plate because if you remove the heatsink from the drive you can invalidate the warranty.

I would get the SN770 2TB for £105 unless you want one with dram cache, maybe the Kingstone Fury Renegade for £125.
 
So the crucial p3 plus is also a good drive?

Basically currently i have two drives installed:

1 x crucial p5 250gb

1 x samsung 980 1tb

I plan to take the 250gb and replace is with a 1/2tb drive and then remove some extra SSD drives
 
Personally for 1 and 2TB drives I'm using Samsung 990 Pro and SK Hynix P41 on my main systems and Samsung 980 on my other systems.

your board douse support pcie 4.0x4 so you should be looking for a 4.0x4 drive, but in the real world you will notice next to no difference
just look around at prices, and reed speed that all that matters really.

P3 plus is a mid tier drive, nothing wrong with it, but unless it's really cheap there's usually better prices for little more, or the same price.

SSD pricing is very tight, the difference between a top end TLC drive with DRAM is usually little more than budget QLC dramless drives.

So i found a p3 plus 1tb for under £38

Bargain!
But it Can’t be true till it arrives from the port of shanghai though right lol
 
so here is a question...

my os is running on 1 x samsung 980 1tb

is there any advantage of me ghosting that drive on to the p3 1TB plus? ie will it be any quicker? or will there only be a very small difference in speed?
