Solved Fastest Drive?


My mistake, the point is one of the slots be it left or right will take a 2280

Ok, will install Evo plus on that, and switch the present with the OS if needed.

Mine is opposite. The left accommodates only M2030 drive and the right doesn't have ample space for a M20-M80 NvMe2. Both can only have m2030. Cause it's corei7 11 gen?

Oh.. I doubt you'll notice any difference between the slowest and fastest. There are many factors that go into the performance of a PC and just upgrading one component isn't a guarantee that you'll notice a difference

Bottom line,, if you want to replace or upgrade the drive.. do it.. but it's a cost you really don't have to incure. I have a Samsung 860 Evo and my PC boots fast and the drive works just fine. You don't need the best hardware to have a good PC.

Building PC's has taught me that just upgrading one component will never ensure that the overall performance of the device will increase.

I agree Jeff, It's like when you do a big upgrade, I think a lot of people forget about settings and adjusting things to get the best performance

For example RAM.. if you don't have the right settings in the BIOS it's just going to run at the default.. and that might be slow.

@Alexey2912, If you're mind is made up to install another SSD, keep the OS on the original 2230 drive and buy a 2280 drive to use as your data drive. Even if the 2280 drive is faster you won't be able to notice any speed difference. I do hope you're not planning on another clean install. :cool:
