moin moin,

I'm not so much a fan of crucial anymore, I lost a few of their earlier
SSD's and mostly wrote them off as incompetent.

I've had rock solid experience with their memory over the years, unlike
several other manufacturers. This is my first drive from them, I hope it
will also be reliable for me.

Really the trick is just match up the pcie bus, so if a 3.0 bus, get a 3.0
m.2, or if a 4.0, get a 4.0 m.2.  That and make sure the slot supports up

Replacing 4.0 8820 with 4.0 8820, so should be good.

to a 2280, but most disks use these.  Get some heatsinks too for it if
yours doesn't have them, most just thermal stick tape on.

BestBuy had the drive, but no heatsyncs. Luckily the mobo came with a
heatsync, so I had a spare.

I'd recommend Samsung normally, but heard the new 980's had some issues

Samsung is my other default.

with linux that degrades performance from Phoronix a few months back.  I've
used the 960 and 970's though, and first ssd's I've gotten to last more
than 6 months using mdraid, luks, and lvm atop.  My laptop has a toshiba

I'm running with luks and lvm, am considering adding a second drive to get
raid.

m.2 I've used around 4 years now and not died as well, a bit surprising,
but no raid on it, just luks and lvm on single disk.

HTH!

Most definitely. Thanks!

ciao,

moin moin,

I'm looking to upgrade my NVMe drive and get two in order to mirror.

I see crucial has several differently priced options. They're all
m.2 2280, so they should all work, right?

Here's what I have now:


https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-aorus-1tb/p/N82E16820009012?Item=N82E16820009012


https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-x570-aorus-elite/p/N82E16813145160?Item=N82E16813145160

Options:

https://www.newegg.com/crucial-2tb-p5/p/N82E16820156250?Description=m2&cm_re=m2-_-20-156-250-_-Product


https://www.newegg.com/crucial-2tb-p5-plus/p/N82E16820156281?Description=m2&cm_re=m2-_-20-156-281-_-Product

Also, since these are hard drives, I could get any two similarly speeded
2TB drives for mirroring on that mother board?

Don't have to worry about batch matching or anything like RAM sometimes
needs?

Need to make sure to get heat syncs with these puppies.

ciao,
