Right, so to preface, I've never installed an m2 ssd before so I kinda need some advice.
So I've got a MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard and apparently it has a M2 slot in it. Now I was to get a new SSD mostly for games (thanks gamepass
) and other storage, as such I was thinking of getting a WD Blue SN550 2TB SSD NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 Solid State Drive (S200T2B0C) or a Crucial P2 2TB M.2 2280 PCI-e 3.0 NVMe Solid State Drive P2 2TB M.2 2280 and I wanted to know which one would be the most reliable (I'm leaning towards the WD drive though).
Plus, having never installed an M2 before - would it be registered like any other drive? (I mean would it come up as Drive D or E or whatever or would it try to take the Drive C spot? Basically can I treat it like slapping in any other HDD) Or would it cause problems because Windows isn't going to be installed on it?
