Small and daring

Compact M.2 SSDs have finally begun to gain popularity, which was facilitated by several factors at once. First, relatively inexpensive motherboards with the Intel B250 chipset supporting M.2 went on sale.

Better for a laptop

Secondly, even mid-priced laptops, not to mention expensive ones, began to be equipped with an M.2 slot instead of the outdated mSATA. Thirdly, M.2 SSDs themselves have become significantly cheaper and now cost only a little more than regular SATA. A good example of an inexpensive M.2 SSD is WD Green.

no frills

It is important to distinguish between two kinds of M.2 drives: AHCI and NVMe. The former work through the SATA bus, so they are limited to 550-560 MB / s. The latter operate via the PCI-E interface and are capable of overclocking up to 2200 Mbps. WD Green is a representative of the first, slower, but also more affordable type.

forced economy

Built by WD Green on a conventional two-dimensional TLC memory with all the consequences: the need for an SLC cache and a significant drop in speed after it ends. However, now either so, or pay one and a half to two times more expensive for MLC. The target audience of WD Green is those who want to minimize cable clutter inside the PC (M.2 attaches directly to the motherboard without additional wires), as well as laptop owners who want to install an SSD without losing the HDD.
