Masscrap at it again. Guys please don’t waist your money on this off brand sad SSD m.2 drive when you can buy Intel or Crucial 1TB Nvme m.2 for 102 bucks on NewEgg. It’s only 3 times faster and has 5 year warranty Have Fun

djmockbaI'm not well versed in this area so sorry if this is a dumb question. I believe I have an m.2 SATA port, will that work with an NVMe m.2 drive? My mobo is a Maximus VII Hero

OutOfSpaghettiFirstly, your motherboard has an m.2 NVMe capability, so you're mistaken if you think you only have a sata m.2. Also, NVMe m.2 (Socket M) ports work with SATA m.2 (Socket B+M) drives, but not the other way around, as it is PHYSICALLY impossible to put a socket M drive in a B+M port. Please look up the wiki for m.2, as it explains their sockets also, but generally SATA m.2 drives are Socket B+M, while NVMe is Socket M.

djmockbaLow pricing SSD does not mean that the performance and reliability of the drive will be a better drive to buy in order to satisfied the diverse demands of usage in the market. Very Low pricing SSD rely heavily on its SLC cache to provide performance that makes it shrink as the drive fills up. When the drive is full, a very write-heavy workload can overflow the cache and severely impact write speeds and even read performance to some extent. However when the drive isn't close to full, it is nearly impossible to fill the SLC cache with a realistic workload. Low pricing SSD Drives tend to be more write oriented and are not as good at accelerating read operations. Please keep this in mind and do research first.

pilipino101Wait one second!! You are confusing the term "socket" and "key" for M.2 M.2 consists of 3 sockets, Socket 1, Socket 2, and Socket 3 and consists of three common keys for SSDs: B, M, and B+M (12 total keys exist, 5 of which are used today the rest are reserved for future) Sockets are as follows 1 = WiFi, NFC, Blutooth or Wi-Gig 2 = WWAN+GNSS or Small SSDs 3 = SSDs for SATA or PCIe up to X4 It is important to get those terms right to prevent confusion since a Socket for key B+M does not exist. Sockets are keyed either B or M. However, you are correct in saying a key M drive will not work in a Socket for key B.

QualityControlGood point! The cheaper NAND is not as reliable or long lasting and also not best for large file transfers (2Gb and up) as it will run out of cache and slow down to 400Mb/s but unless your running a server or deal with large file video editing you will be fine. Most people use SSD drives for OS and Programs At the end, for 95% of people the NVME version with better warranty and speed is a much smarter buy!
