Using NVMe externally is very easy. They can become a great alternative to expensive external storage devices. So, if you have an NVMe SSD lying around, you can use it as an external drive for your laptop, camera, desktop, smartphone, or tablet. Some people even buy new drives and cut the cost of buying the […]
M.2 SATA and 2.5 SATA SSDs are the same in terms of performance. However, there is a size difference between the both. Because the M.2 SATA SSDs look like M.2 NVMe SSDs, people get confused between them. A 2.5-inch SSD is called 2.5″ because of the drive’s physical size, specifically its width. The 2.5 inch
The most common reasons why your SSD is slow are SSD wearing over time, no TRIM support, low free space, connection or interface issues, firmware problems, thermal throttling, malware, etc. Identifying the issue can be really helpful in fixing the problem quickly. However, it isn’t as easy as saying. So, we can start by checking
It is 2024 and people are still confused about M.2 drives. There are two types of M.2 drives. M.2 NVMe and M.2 SATA. Because both are based on M.2 form factor, the confusion is obvious. Both drives look exactly the same. But, there are many differences to uncover just by paying a little attention. To
Whether it’s sequential or random read/write performance, SSDs have higher read speed than write speed. But, why is that? The reason lies in the core technology on which SSDs work. Data is stored bit by bit inside nanoscopic cells called floating gate transistors in the form of electric charge. This is the basic storage unit
SSDs retain data without power because of a very special phenomenon of electronics called charge trapping. The most basic storage element inside an SSD is a floating gate MOSFET which is also called a Cell. With the help of micro-fabrication, millions of these floating gate MOSFETs or charge trap flash cells are embedded inside tiny
