M2 SSD

How much storage can you get from the M2 SSD?

M2 SSD drives are shaped like some gum sticks and take up less room when you compare them with the 2.5-inch SSDs. When it comes to storage size, you find that most M2 SSDs can have a storage capacity of up to 2TB. Some other form factors can offer a higher capacity for storage.

What are the requirements to use M2 SSD in desktops PC and laptops?

If you’re going to use an M2 SSD drive on your laptop or desktop PC, you should have a motherboard that has M2 slots. You may find that some motherboards carry two or more M2 slots.  This allows you to run the SSDs in RAID. 

Although the 2.5 inch SSD drives utilize the SATA bus that was introduced in 2000 and initially designed for hard drives and the add-in cards utilize the PCIe bus that features more bandwidth and is faster than SATA when it comes to M2 SSDs, they can go either way – they can utilize both PCIe bus and SATA bus depending on the product. Besides, some fast SSDs utilize the NVMe interface popularly designed for rapid storage devices. 

What this means is that an M2 SSD may be PCIe-based with support of NVMe, SATA-based, or PCIe-based without the support of NVMe. If you have an M2 SSD that has NVMe support, it tends to offer up to 5 times more bandwidth compared to the SATA M2 model, offering better performance when it comes to things like file transfers, transcoding, video, and photo editing, compression, and decompression.
