I've got a 1TB spinner in this machine right now and it is easily the weakest link in getting programs opened up.
I've considered picking up a SATA and cloning to it. What's out there now? |

Hard to go wrong with a Samsung Pro line. 1 and 2TB 980 Pros are on sale regularly.
Cloning from spinner to NVME isn't quite a directly straightforward experience, but if your machine is old enough to have a spinner you could probably use a fresh installation anyways. If your machine is old enough to have a spinner, does it have an m.2 slot? |

Samsung has done me right. No ragrets with the dozen or so I've been running.

Samsung Pro NVMEs have been great to me and come highly recommended by people more knowledgeable on computers than me.
I have 2 Samsung Pro 980 2tb NVMEs in my PC. |

I bought it with 8GB RAM and upgraded to 20GB since 4GB is built into the board. It has a single m.2 PCIe slot that can be used in conjunction with a 2.5" SSD. |

The only issue Ive run into is if you were trying to move/clone an older machine with legacy bios/funky UEFI to a new UEFI mobo.. then you get into MBR/GPT/Secure Boot issues. |

If you have a compatible M2 slot - get this:

Ok, so it will take up to a Gen 4 NVMe M.2 drive.. nice. |

Done spinners to NVME on a couple laptops. If you are on a spinner OP, a 2.5SSD may fit the bill just fine as well and will be WAY faster vs that spinner. I would look at what has best price to storage cost that fits your needs. I've used 2.5 PNY SSDs without issues, as well as, Samsung NMVE in the desk top also without issues. Even a Dell 11 venue pro I swapped to a Dogfish NVME and has been fine. |

Thinking this through, I probably need to just do a SATA drive first.

I usually just buy the cheapest branded stuff. I've picked up some Intel branded drives on closeout last year when they sold that division to solidigm I believe. Also have some adata and even inland stuff in 1-4tb sizes. For general use they have all been fine for the last few years.

That will be a ripper. I just finished building my new "wholly mediocre, middle of the road, 1440p, gaming desktop" at home. It replaced my 2012-2015 previous build...which was still running great for daily tasks and some older games, but anything good in the last 4 years wont really run on it. |

That's pretty much what I'm using and there's nothing really pushing it hard (gaming-wise), currently. My GPU is an AMD, though, so it has problems with specific tasks that work on NVidea cards, though. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By M4ger: Thinking this through, I probably need to just do a SATA drive first. Why? Why not just move to the more modern M.2? If I had a choice in a laptop, I'd pick M.2. They are likely cheaper, and certainly a faster interface. That said, you like will not be able to tell the difference either way. |

Faster than the smaller OEM SSD. |
