Expect impressive performance. Sequential read speeds reach high levels. They range from 1,500 MB/s to 3,500 MB/s. This depends on the specific model. Sequential write speeds are also strong. They usually sit between 500 MB/s and 2,000 MB/s. This SSD excels as a boot drive. It handles light workloads with ease. It’s truly ideal for upgrading systems. Especially those with limited existing storage.

Popular Brands and Local Pricing

Several reputable brands offer these SSDs. Consider Samsung, like their 980 or 970 EVO series. Kingston’s NV series is also popular. Crucial’s P2 series performs well. Western Digital’s Blue SN570 is another solid choice. In Kenya, pricing is quite competitive. An M.2 NVMe 512GB SSD typically costs between KES 6,000 to KES 8,000. Price variations depend on the brand. The specific supplier also affects cost.

The Evolution of M.2 NVMe

The term “M.2” is pronounced “m dot two.” It was formerly the Next Generation Form Factor, or NGFF. This specification governs internal computer expansion cards. It defines associated connectors too. This standard replaces older mSATA and mPCIe standards. It even earned its name “M.2” from “Mini SATA 2.” M.2 features a flexible physical design. It allows different module widths. It supports various lengths too. This flexibility, with advanced interfacing, benefits smaller devices. Ultrabooks and tablets greatly benefit.

Advanced Features and Interfaces

M.2 modules integrate multiple functions. They can include Wi-Fi. Bluetooth is also an option. Satellite navigation is possible. Near field communication (NFC) is supported. Digital radio functionality exists. WiGig and WWAN are also integrated. Critically, it supports solid-state drives (SSDs). The SATA revision 3.2 specification standardized M.2 SSDs. This occurred in August 2013. It defined the hardware layout. The connector exposes several buses. These include PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 and newer. Serial ATA (SATA) 3.0 is supported. USB 3.0 is also included. All these standards are backward compatible.

Storage Interface Options

Three main options exist for storage device interfaces. These depend on the M.2 storage type. Operating system support also plays a role. Legacy SATA is one option. It’s used for SATA SSDs. It interfaces via the AHCI driver. It uses the legacy SATA 3.0 port (6 Gbit/s). This port is exposed through the M.2 connector.

Alternatively, PCI Express uses NVMe. This is for PCI Express SSDs. It interfaces through the NVMe driver. It utilizes provided PCI Express lanes. NVMe is a high-performance interface. It’s optimized for PCI Express SSDs. NVMe was designed from scratch. It leverages PCIe SSDs’ low latency. It also uses their enhanced parallelism. NVMe complements modern CPUs’ parallelism. It suits platforms and applications. NVMe offers clear advantages over AHCI. Its design exploits parallelism in hardware and software.⁴ Data transfers have fewer stages. Command queues are deeper. Interrupt processing is more efficient.

Form Factors and Keying

The M.2 standard builds on mSATA. The mSATA standard used the Mini PCIe form factor. It also used its connector. M.2 SSDs allow for larger circuit boards. This enables longer modules. It also supports double-sided component population.
