Az M.2 típusú meghajtók többsége 80 mm széles és 22 mm mély, azonban léteznek ennél rövidebb vagy hosszabb változatok is. Az egyszerűbb beazonosíthatóság érdekében az elnevezés időnként tartalmazza a méreteket is. Az előzőekben ismertetett mérettel például M.2 Type-2280 néven is találkozhat. Early examples of the latest generation of M.2 drives, using the PCI Express 5.0 bus, also come in the Type-2280 format, but it's expected that some PCIe 5.0 slots on new motherboards will be built to support the larger Type-25110 format (25mm by 110mm), so we may well see PCIe 5.0 SSDs with these dimensions as well. PCIe 5 drives are capable of tremendous throughput speeds (in excess of 10,000MBps) that should generate abundant heat, and the SSDs we have seen so far come with substantial built-in heatsinks. Even in mSATA's heyday, though, a replacement was in the works. During development, it was known as NGFF, for "Next-Generation Form Factor." As it took shape, though, it took on its current, final name: M.2. The drives would be smaller, potentially more capacious, and, most important, not necessarily reliant on SATA.

SSD Add-in Card (AIC): Az Add-In Card típusú SSD meghajtó legnagyobb előnye, hogy a két évtizede megalkotott SATA szabványhoz képest sokkal magasabb írási- és olvasási sebességre képes köszönhetően a PCI Express csatlakozónak, amelyen keresztül az alaplaphoz kapcsolódik. Természetesen ez azt is jelenti, hogy csak olyan összeállításban használható, ahol az alaplapon a videokártya által használt PCI Express csatlakozó mellett van még legalább egy szabad PCIe x4 vagy x16 hely, így amennyiben kompaktabb méretű számítógép házzal rendelkezik, vagy már van egy dedikált, azaz különálló videokártyája, Önnek nem ez lesz a megfelelő választás. Viszont amennyiben van elég hely a gépében és még üres PCI Express csatlakozó is rendelkezésre áll, az elérhető leggyorsabb SSD meghajtóval bővítheti a gépét. Az extrém gyors adatfeldolgozás természetesen megnövekedett hőtermeléssel is jár, amit az AIC kártyák a méretükkel jól tudnak kompenzálni. A legnagyobb kapacitással rendelkező M.2 meghajtók 4 terabájtnyi adat tárolására alkalmasak. Ennél nagyobb tárhelyigény esetén használhat akár egyszerre több SSD meghajtót is, vagy választhat másik kialakítású típust.

RPI/CPI Price Increase - Each year, your Pay Monthly airtime tariff will be adjusted according to Three's Fixed Annual Price Change (Three), the Retail Price Index (O2) or Consumer Price Index (EE, Vodafone) rate of inflation. At the core, an SSD is just a thin circuit board studded with flash-memory and controller chips. Why not design around that? Thus the M.2 form factor was born. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Experience superior performance and reliability that you can only get from the world's number one brand for flash memory since 2003. All firmware and components, including Samsung's world-renowned DRAM and NAND, are produced in-house, allowing end-to-end integration for quality you can trust. Random Read (4 KB, QD32) Up to 1,000,000 IOPS * Performance may vary based on system hardware & configuration South Korean memory-chip maker SK Hynix is a relative newcomer to the consumer solid-state drive market, but you would never know that based on its first offerings. The SK Hynix Platinum P41, a PCI Express 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD, is its best yet. It dominated our PCMark 10 and 3DMark Storage benchmark testing, setting several new records in the process. The P41 supports 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption. SK Hynix provides a clone utility tool, the SK Hynix System Migration Utility, for its SSDs, in addition to Easy Drive Manager software, which lets you see detailed information on drive health, run diagnostics, and erase the drive. And the P41 can be had for a very reasonable price in its 1TB and 2TB capacities. Who It's ForAn M.2 drive is a small form factor storage device, which directly interfaces with the motherboard. You can find M.2 drives in a variety of lengths with the most popular form factor being 80mm long. These drives can connect to a motherboard via one of two interfaces, SATA or NVMe. When choosing your M.2 drive, it is important to understand what type of drive your motherboard supports, as both SATA and NVMe drives feature different keying on their connectors. SATA drives have two indents into their connector, while NVMe feature a single indent.
