M.2 SSD Adapters & Enclosures

Greetings! Just a point of correction that, as some have commented below, there are now a few motherboards with PCIe 5.0 slots. My mistake. But it makes no difference to the content of this video.

Most honest youtuber, nothing flashy and glittery, just explaining computer.

This video ts a lifesaver for me. I purchased an M.2 SSD with hopes for expansion, only to find the slot occupied. I knew I had an open slot, but I didn't know enough about the nuances of modern SSD drives. With such a thorough and understandable tutorial, my task should be far easier than the complex solutions I have found from others. Video bookmarked as my 'operations manual.'

This must be the most comprehensive guide that I've seen in a while. It's almost like you do be Explaining about Computers, I know.

Thanks for this video. You're one of the best, clearest and most comprehensible presenters on the web. Keep up the good work, Chris.

This video couldn't have come at a better time for me. I was just looking into getting one and confused by the variety available. Thank you for yet another helpful and educational video!

I was just looking into adding an M.2 card to my PCso this was timed perfectly. Many thanks Chris for a first class explanation

A lot more information in 1 video than dozens of videos from other so called techtubers.

I like and appreciate the way you went through all of the variable permutations. Very informative. Thank you.

One of my favorite computer related channels! Simple and straight forward.

Thanks, Chris. Bought a low-end laptop with a 128GB nvme drive & 4GB RAM recently. Bought a Vantek internal card and a USB non name brand USB 3 adapter, 2 1TB nvme drives to upgrade the laptop and a home lab server. They (the card and adapter) were well worth the cost, and made the laptop well worth the money, too. Your info followed my steps exactly for determining the speed improvements... This is another video I will put in my reference library to help others understand the what and how of hardware, and examples of speed improvements that can be had for little investment of time and effort.

This is without a doubt the clearest explanation of this technology I've ever seen. Thanks, mate!

Excellent as always Chris, I haven't yet got into the M.2 world, but with this info, I know how to approach upgrading my elderly machines 🙂

Outstanding video as always. Thank you for the graphics and tables showing the differences between technologies.

Indeed explaining. You work is invaluable ❤

I love the pace and clarity of the explanation. Thank you for this.

On holiday in Cyprus. YouTube notification. Sunshine, Pool, beer & the new EC video. A perfect Sunday

Always the best explainer on the block, CB talks about TWO of the craziest concepts in computing: M.2 and PCIe. Confused? Watch the video.

Had to work this weekend, so I'm late on the reply.. I enjoyed this one very much.. I just bought one of the PCIe-NVMe adapter cards and wasn't sure which slot was best.. Guess I am NOW!!! Thanks for much for all you do Mr. Barnatt!!!

Great way to start the week! Always the best useful information!
