At Disk Formatting section of the video, it is good to be mentioned of 10-20% of the total amount of the disk space, to be left as unlocated for long reliability and data integrity of the SSD disks

You should check the MB manual for the bifurcation table which will detail PCIE lane sharing details.

Thanks you for these great tips. I don't have any Gen 4 stuff yet, but I'll make sure my 3 NVMe's are working properly thanks to your video!

It's not always the top slot. Some boards steal PCIe 5 lanes from the GPU in the top slot (M.2_1), reducing your GPU from x16 to x8. This would be less of an issue with a PCIe 5 GPU, but the current generation of GPUs are PCIe 4, and will lose performance. The correct slot for a gen 4 drive can be M.2_2, if the board routes the CPU's x4 lanes there.

This seems to be a very underrated channel, the content is excellent. One question I had and was confusing from the manual, is there a difference or something to be aware of when installing NVME double sided vs single. It mentions rubber grommets and seems slot dependent looking at a ASUS z790 manual. - Cheers

@83n80y

Жыл бұрын

If it's double-sided then you'll need cooling on both sides. The rubber pads they often provide would buffer the metal on the bottom side from scratching the motherboard and preventing shorts. You won't see a double-sided NVMe unless you're using a very high capacity drive. All the 2TB and less I've seen are single-sided. You can tell by where the memory chips are. The back side will only have a sticker.

Thank you for this video this is the First time installing a SSD like this, Really helped

You can just right-click the Windows start button and go right to disk management directly in Windows 11. If I remember right, the same shortcut works in 10 as well.

As always a soothing and helpful guide for this nutty new technology. As some have mentioned, you should definitely be looking at your motherboard manual. I think people try to wing it too much and with m.2 you cannot do that. Many people don't know you will often lose the use of a few sata ports when using m.2 on certain slots as well. I check m.2 configuration before I even buy a motherboard so I know it will work for my need.

Should I put those on and then install the motherboard heatsinks on top of those? Or should I install them without their respective factory heatsink? (just using the mobo hs covers)

I dont have a thermal sink for mine, is that ok? It's installed in the top slot. I spent a long time thinking of what slot should I use, because while the second one is apparently slower (only 2 slots in my mobo btw), it comes with a heatsink. On the other hand, it goes right below the graphics card, little room to breath under that hot thing.

You're missing a related option. If you are going after maximum nvme m.2 storage for minimum cash, you can use an interface converting device. Use 4 pcie x4 gen 2 drives over 1 pcie x4 gen 4 interface. This works by converting the slower older hen pcie protocol to the faster new gen protocol. Gen 4 throughput is double gen 3, which is double gen 2. At the end you are moving the same Gb/s through half or a quarter the same lanes because of the converter. You pick up a very small amount of latency but multiply the pcie lanes on desktop level systems reducing total cost.

So should i put the Systemdrive under the better heatsink or the Gamedrive? Also if any of my assumptions are wrong please let me know. Thanks in advance, and have a nice day.

Most board manufacturers put cooling plates like (MSI M.2 Shield Frozr) on the higher speed interfaces (PCIe 4.0) cause they run faster than PCIe 3 which means more heat generated, more expensive boards have cooling solutions on all or most NVMe slots cause you're paying more.

@phenos

Жыл бұрын

An high speed nvme SSD can throttle down in speed when a certain temperature target is reached, usually with long sustained data transfers. A thermal pad especially on the controller chip helps to dump the heat to a heatsink allowing it to maintain higher/full speed.

Curiously, the 1st M.2 slot you recommend people to install their drive to (the one closest to the CPU) is the slot one SHOULD NOT use on the ASUS STRIX z790-E board in particular, since this will limit the GPU to run at x8. I wonder if I will ever use that slot at all. Oddly, it´s the only PCI E 5.0 M.2 slot. Equipped with a beefy thermal shield. Since I haven´t built a PC over a decade, I´m intrigued by this, wondering if I am missing something important here. Any thoughts on that?
