    External SSD and NVM / M2 ssd with adapter


    Hi there.

    is there any advantage over using a bog standard SSD drive with SATA-->USB / USBC connector in using a NVM M2 type with the appropriate USB connector as external devices. The speed of the USB connection would be the limiting factor but other considerations e.g reliability etc. The M2 type devices are nice and small and are getting cheaper than the traditional SSD models now anyway so anybody used these as extenal devices yet -- e.g WindowstoGo / Linux / macrium backups etc etc.

    Cheers

    Migration from Hdd to m2.SSD

    Recently I have purchased a new laptop (hp probook 450 G4) and a new original windows 10 home edition and now I want to upgrade my 1 TB Hdd to a new m2 ssd and my laptop supports another slot for the m2 ssd so I can run both
    the m2 ssd & hdd at the same time but I will make the m2 ssd the boot drive and the hdd will be the data drive.
    MY Question is how can I migrate system drive to the new m2 ssd without the need to reinstall windows or any other installed programs and there is another thing, when I checked the disk management I found 3 recovery partitions will I have to
    migrate them too or I have to migrate the system drive only

    2 ssd migration to larger m2 ssd

    Hi The

    If you can connect both M2's to your system then you can clone the old Ms onto the new one - most systems do not have a second M2 port - you should check to see if that is possible . . .

    If you can connect both drives to your system then the free version of Macrium Reflect would be a good choice to perform the cloning . ..

    If you cannot connect both drives, then you will be unable to clone the old drive and your only choice will be to backup your data and clean install Windows 10 onto the new M2 SSD
