Setting up a new Nvme drive

Zeebedy · 16 Nov 2022 at 22:17

Hey,

I have a 1tb Nvme atm and already thinking of storage space now..as my internet is not the greatest so deleting and reinstalling etc is not a good option.

can I just buy another Nvme drive, put it in the unpopulated slot at the bottom of my board, and then do I need to do anything else? Or should it just show in windows as an extra drive?

I ask, as I’m not totally familiar with nvme drive as I have mainly used SSD in the past.

cheers.

@Tetras

quick question mate, to save a few quid and avoid any "lane problems" as it will just be for games, would I get away with a standard SSD?

Ah, ok, makes sense.

the mobo is : gigabyte B550 gaming x v2
