Deal Alert: Build A PC – NVMe SSD *Updated*
The Non-Volatile Memory Express Solid State Drive (NVMe SSD) has become the primary drive for storing operating systems and system applications in most of the new PCs today. It is a lot smaller in size with faster seek and transfer times than the traditional Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and SATA SSD. Prices of NVMe SSDs have also become rather affordable making it the de facto choice for primary drives.
When considering to add a NVMe SSD to your PC, be sure to check that your motherboard has a M.2 (2280) form factor slot and supports the PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface, and you are good to go.
Today in our weekly series, we are sharing some deals on NVMe SSDs to build a new PC or upgrade an existing rig. So do not miss out on these attractive deals.
For more information on M.2 NVMe SSDs, you can read more about Samsung’s 980 NVMe SSD, TeamGroup’s new T-Force Cardea A440 Pro SSDs, and WD’s Blue SN750.
