Here's the link to it: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categ...™-Gen-4-PCIe-NVMe-M-2-SSD/p/CSSD-F1000GBMP600
Yep I have 2 of the M2 SSD's right now and the size is nothing. When I looked at the size of the SSD on the PS5 it is just 4 or 5 little chips built into the motherboard. I remember paying big bucks in the '80s and '90s for 20mb and 40mb hard drives,lol. That and memory/cpu's had to be soldered in back in the '80s
I still haven't decided on what SSD I want to go with. My mother board has an M.2 slot but it's SATA. I'm between getting an NVME SSD and using an m.2 to pcie adaptor and plugging it into my spare pcie slot below the graphics card or just going with the slower SATA SSD. I like simplicity and not sure if using a pcie adaptor will cause any issues.
the pcie 3 connection would be the best from what i've seen, if you can't do pcie 4
3.0 and 4.0 are backwards compatible with each other. I think it sounds like he is going to use a PCI Express expansion slot card that allows M2 SSD's to be used. I have a Sata Expansion card as well.
Yep I do, that is stuff we talked about via email.
