    SSDs are not all created equal. Not only do they come in different shapes and sizes, but they vary in what kind of interface they use (PCIe or SATA), the connector (PCIe, SATA, M.2, U.2) and even the protocol (AHCI or NVMe). All of these possible combinations might not be obvious, so you should know the differences for when you go to buy your next SSD. Otherwise, you might not get the best performance possible out of the one you get!

    Nice to see that you included Optane drives in this even though they are still very new. Think it would have been good idea to
    just to mention SSHDs too even though they aren't exactly SSDs, though it might have needed more explanation too.

    M.2 comes in two flavours. PCIe and SATA. SATA is still the same 6gb/s as a normal SATA interface where as PCIe uses the availiable PCI lanes so offering differing speeds (still faster than SATA). They also have different hardware connections (Interfaces).

  • @rhm504
    @rhm504 Před 5 lety +1

    Thank you for summing up all these new abbreviations regarding SSDs in an easy to follow video. I stopped keeping track when they moved from IDE to SATA. I got distracted by my (ex)girlfriend and college education, neither of which I am using now.
    Actually I lie. I saw you had another video for speeding up an internet connection. After watching this very well made video, I wondered what you had to say. As I watched that video, things didn't make any sense. However, I kept giving you the benefit of the doubt (he must mean modem, not router. He's probably going to use the batteries in something or take them apart . He must mean cable between modem and ISP, not router and modem). From my recollection of college physics, the info on how a transformer works seemed correct, though I didn't quite know how you were going to apply it. Once you grabbed the patch cable, I realized it wasn't going to work. When you wrapped the wire around the first battery, I started laughing, and read description/comments. Thank you for the laugh.
    So to sum it up. Again, thank you for THIS informative video, your delivery during the joke video was very good, and I'll resume not using my college education or know where my (ex)girlfriend even is right now (probably China or Mars).

  • @johnpaulbacon8320
    @johnpaulbacon8320 Před 4 lety

    Nicely informative video on ssd technology. Maybe later as ssd technology advances - ssd drives could say use more then 4 pcie lanes for better performance. Maybe even go up to using 16 lanes ( X16 ) with various configurations in between allowing the pricing to be relative to the drives performance. Say have a M.2 ssd that's an X16 model with the best flash memory vs a x4 model with say cheaper flash memory that would out perform hdd's but not the higher end ssd drive.

    Thx for the explanation, very useful. One question -- if you are considering a PCIe SSD drive how do you determine if your computer can boot from it. IOW, if you are not just using the SSD for storage but also have the system partition on it I've been told that many PCIe slots are not "bootable". Hopefully, my question is clear and thx again.

    Downside of a NVME on board is if you use it you loose 2 SATA ports on the board. Until they address this issue I will stick with mechanical drives. If prices come down on SSD's then I would use it, primarily for the boot drive. For long term storage I will still use a mechanical drive.

  • @MeBeMesni
    @MeBeMesni Před 4 lety

    Interesting info

  • @jpdj2715
    @jpdj2715 Před 6 lety +2

    You missed the essence, IMO. On most motherboards all I/O connectors dangle off a switch called Southbridge. That has 4 PCIe lanes to the CPU for all I/Os. That switch may offer a PCIe NVME even with theoretical speed. Latency is caused by the switch and time sharing or multiplexing of a couple CPU lanes across a boatload of I/O lanes. If you have an M.2 NVME card and want it to really perform, then buy a cheap PCIe adapter so as to have it on real PCIe lanes directly into the CPU. the best adapters are passive and will only do some voltage regulation. Check motherboard and CPU specs to see you have enough PCIe lanes, though. If you have 28 lanes and use two 16 lane GPU cards. With 40 lanes, you can have 2x 16 lane GPUs and 2x 4 lane NVME. You'd be surprised how fast your disappointing card can be.

    • @82NeXus
      @82NeXus Před 5 lety

      Do the M.2 connectors connect to the southbridge or northbridge or direct to the PCIe interface on the CPU though? I wonder if the PCIe-only M.2 connectors connect direct to the CPU? If so, perhaps they're a bit faster.

  • @81OH4Z4RD
    @81OH4Z4RD Před 4 lety

    In general how much difference in speed is there between PCIe and SATA on an M.2 connection? Does the M.2 connector limit PCIe at all to make them comparable or is PCIe still much faster?

    Doesn't matter what SSD you get. As long as you replace the hard-drive for the OS it's going to be stellar.

    • @EricEsser
      @EricEsser Před 5 lety

      I am Chris or not. An 8k prores HQ video stream at 60fps has a single stream data rate of about 7.5gbps. Multicam 4k prores 444 even at 30fps and you’re in the same ballpark or more. A sata ssd would not give you a stellar experience for either of those tasks, whereas an nvme drive would do the trick nicely.

    • @82NeXus
      @82NeXus Před 5 lety +3

      @@EricEsser Ok, but pretty sure by the comment he meant the average home computer not a video editing computer. That said, have you considered using a server or workstation motherboard with say, 512GB RAM. Then use say, 480GB of it as a RAM drive. Have an NVMe drive as well and use the RAM drive software or other software to continually backup to that? ... Although at your data rate it would only store about 8.5 mins of video - heh.
