Samsung is also the benchmark for small M.2 SSDs and wins in three categories: with the Samsung 970 Evo in the M.2 SSDs with NVMe technology in the 500 gigabyte and 1000 gigabyte categories, and in the cheaper M.2 SSDs with SATA interface around 500 gigabytes with the Samsung 850 Evo. Only in the SATA SSDs with 1000 gigabytes was someone else ahead: Crucial with the MX500...
Intel SSD 760P Series - Bulk
512 GB, M.2 2280Product details
The Intel 760p series SSDs are designed for use in consumer systems. They offer high performance and are ideal for multitasking, demanding workloads such as photo and video editing, as well as everyday office applications and gaming. The 3D NAND storage technology and the use of the NVMe protocol ensure high transfer rates that benefit your entire system. This SSD transfers data via PCI-Express, far surpassing traditional SATA SSDs in terms of transfer speed. M.2 SSDs are installed through the M.2 socket on the motherboard. Due to their compact dimensions, they are particularly suitable for use in ultrabooks and mini-PCs, but can also be used in standard computers. In systems with NVMe support, this SSD truly shines. You benefit from high throughput, high IOPS, and low latency. Unlike the older AHCI protocol, which was developed for traditional spinning drives, NVMe prevents performance drops, offers faster transfer of large data volumes, increased boot speeds, and improved system response times. The advantages of an SSD over a conventional hard drive include significantly shorter access times, lower power consumption, and greatly increased shock resistance. This means that your operating system boots faster, generates less heat, and your data remains intact even under greater shocks. Another advantage is the very high lifespan, ensuring that your data remains preserved over a long period.
