Windows 10: Anything I should know before hand on M.2 NVME Install?

Plan on trying to buy M.2 nvme drive for my newer desktop i hope next month or month after. while i'm thinking about it, is there anything i should know on prior to installing?

M.2 slot is above video card, and right under CPU cooler, should i get one with a heatsink? or is it nothing to worry on, plan on keeping my Serial ATA SSD, possibly for game storage (250gb size) new one gonna be 512gb minimum boot drive, and maybe 1 game, unless i keep the games on secondary serial ata ssd.

about intel optane memory + NVMe™ M.2 SSD

nitially

intel optane memory M10(16,32,64gb)PCIe NVMe M.2 3.0x2 was for accelerating 2.5'SATA mechanical HDD regardless of which generation intel CPUs.

also note :

not talking about Intel® Optane™ Memory H10 with Solid State Storage (32gb+1tb, 32gb+512gb ,16gb+256gb)PCIe NVMe3.0x4 that comes as a single m.2 drive which is mounted on single m.2 slot

but now why

intel optane memory M15(16,32,64gb)(PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4)is-- paired with --PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSDs {which is mounted on two differnt m.2 slots on 7th ,8th and 9th gen intel CPUs}

what is the purpose

ex: 512 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD + Intel® Optane™ memory 32 GB on (Intel® Core™ i7 9750H) seen from HPs Omen X 2S - 15 Gaming Laptop.

 

Need advice on compatible M.2 NVME for Gigabyte M. B.

Pretty much any MVMe Gen 3 SSD drive would work. It's just a matter of name brand, price and performance.

And, yes, that would work on that board.

Do consider the source you're trusting your data to before purchase. My general advice is the get something name brand, mid tier and you'll be fine. That Gigabyte drive should be fine.

Be aware that just because an item isn't listed on the qualification list doesn't necessarily denote the item won't work, just that i wasn't tested when list was made. I also own five Gigabyte boards in a 10 year span.
