Windows 10: I’m upgrading my storage from a 500gb m.2 to a 1tb. I understand the process but I’m...

See title above, there are different options for partitions and after looking it up I’m still confused on the matter.

Do I just not want to do anything, such as resizing? Or do I want to resize it?

Thanks!

Thinking about getting a 1TB m.2

My first thought was that using a 1TB SSD in what is basically a caching scheme is crazy.

On further thought, it's crazy.*Smile

I'd suggest getting this Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive R/W 3200/2000 MB/s (SB-RKTQ-1TB) - Newegg.com or this Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive (SB-ROCKET-1TB) - Newegg.com as an alterative to Samsung. If you had a PCI-E 4.0 CPU + motherboard (you do not, at least in your My Computer listing), I'd suggest this: Sabrent 1TB Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal SSD Maximum Performance Solid State Drive With Heatsink (SB-ROCKET-NVMe4-HTSK-1TB) - Newegg.com.

 

Thinking about getting a 1TB m.2

I have no connection with Newegg, except as a sometime customer. 1TB, M.2 2280, Internal SSDs, SSDs, Components - Newegg.com

I got this one Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive R/W 3200/2000 MB/s (SB-RKTQ-1TB) - Newegg.com on sale for $100 recently. The claimed sequential read/write are 3200/2000 MBps. I have seen that in CrystalDiskMark. It's a QLC drive, For an additional $20, Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive (SB-ROCKET-1TB) - Newegg.com is a TLC drive, rated at 3400/3000.

The Sabrent drives rely on Windows' built-in NVMe drivers, and TRIM. No utilities are available from them.

 

2 RAID Arrays on Z390 chipset (M.2x4 and SATA)

This is possible. I have successfully built a Z390 based machine with both an M.2 RAID 1 array (boot) and SATA RAID 0 array (D disk), all running off of the Z390 chipset Intel controller. Creating the RAID arrays is standard, and not significantly different than with just SATA disks. The primary difference being that the M.2 disks must have "RST PCIe Storage Remapping" Enabled.

This system is configured as such:

• i9 9900k
  
• ASRock Z390 Taichi Ultimate
  
• 2x 1TB Samsung 970 EVO M.2 SSDs (RAID 1 + Boot)
  
• 2x 1TB WD Blue SSDs (RAID 0)
