you can boot nvme from an x79 mobo if you have the technical know how 😉
Samsung EVO 960 m.2 NVMe 256GB here
I plan on using nvme m.2 as my boot drive and a regular hdd door my games
I really don’t like U.2, their last few albums have been dreadful.
U2 was not really given any attention!
I checked. My mother board doesnt have an m.2 slot. Or another sata port for my ssd 🙁
I have c602/x79 board (Older motherboard that doesn’t NVMe) but a year ago I followed this guide http://www.win-raid.com/t871f16-Guide-How-to-get-full-NVMe-support-for-all-Systems-with-an-AMI-UEFI-BIOS.html and installed a NVMe intel 750 ssd and it works perfectly.
rip sata express
What if i dont get one for my Gaming pc will it work
Linus is the best ever! TBE!
ya i use mdma m.too. u.too?
Fuck this shit i am out. I am fine with sata ssd.
k so first I dunno if this is true but it probably is. ok so I once went to a fancy univ in the middle of germany and I was like yo wtf this shieet boy ???. where that boy went to die tho and he deadass said he dindu nuffin bout that shiet ???. I was like bitch hold on yall hearing that noise then the groudnt trembled and einsteins rotting corpse came out of the ground fast AF and I was like ayoo how ya doin man and he said boy yall want the secret in how to be a genius?? I said ya man sure thing then einstein went for that whisper and said it. “IM PICKLE RICKKKKK”. Then my mind opened, all the episodes of Rick and Morty flashed through me. I just became so WOKE. My IQ is now increasing at orders of MAGNITUDE per second. Only because of Rick and Morty. EDIT: btw yall tryna get this boy caught red handed if yall ever say shit ’bout rick n morty im fucking murdering yall ??????
Jesus Christ :/
I forgot computers were so damn expensive and complicated, once I’d finished my build like 2 years ago I forgot everything…now I need some upgrades for performance/to replace broken ass shit….and I can’t make sense of any of it. The console kiddies have a point lol.
I wonder what would happen if you had an “Optane” M.2 (32GB+) attached to one of those cards?
It’s intended to improve the speed of the drive having the OS? 😉
I’m thinking if the “Optane” M.2 (32GB+) drive works as advertised and supporting a 1TB M2 (OS added) plus two 1 or 2TB SSDs I feel it would be a killer combo if the optane works (I’m optimistic you can answer my inquire)?
I dropped out of follwing tech news at all for a couple years after 2014, then came back this year and was super confused what these little ram looking things were. Can’t believe that this kinda thing came along and just became a standard so quickly that nobody talked about them by the time I started following tech news again.
LOL Linus did all that research and now he’s wearing a hat… msg rcvd 🙂
Haha. In Ubuntu, you can boot from ANY drive and put the bootloader to another(like usb stick)
I’m bootin on an nvme pcie card on z77 board.
2:27 – Why does he refer to SATe as ”dead” ? Did it died ? lol jk Seriously now can someone explain ?
Hi I been watching your videos.can you explain to me about M.2? is M.2 work the same as ssd? I have slot or what you call pci what ever in my motherboard. I am building my first new desktop pc with ryzen 1300x can you guide me to the build?
Another great video!
Sorry to say, but this didn’t helped me at all……
Maybe I just didn’t listen or I might be needing/searching for other information.
The only thing I’m trying to figure out, is if I should go for SATA SSD or PCIe NVMe SSD M.2 slots when choosing my PCIe card.
When that’s said… – You make the greatest videos, so keep up the good work!!
You are always the first person I’m trying to get my answers from!
Heh. Back in the vga days carrying video signal in cat5 was so much simpler, excluding soldering the thing (along with a transistor and bunch of resistors) to a vga connector 🙂
(Also, several versions of of the NVIDIA driver just crashed with the modeline that was required to run a PAL TV. )
Because you know, PAL TV’s didn’t do YPbPr and video cards didn’t do SCART, but at the time high fidelity interlacing artifacts felt like a worthwhile investment of my time.
the only thing i have objection with linus is that …he goes overboard while trying to explain something simple
published on my Bday! thumbs up
I see a lot of people talking about having or wanting to put M.2 in raid 0. I do my research and there seems to be a lot of conflicting results. The one article that makes the most sense to me is Pros and Cons of using Samsung 950 pro in raid. It seems to me the raid protocols would override the NVMe protocols and actually make it slower. Any thoughts?
Is that some sort of shed covered in kerdi ditra material @ 1:34? It sure looks like it!
WhaaaT? 😀
Where can I get a slot for this ? and what slot should it be to get the full experience ?
My 2010 Mac Pro has a PCIe card in a 16 lane x5690 slot that has four Samsung m.2 SSDs in RAID 0. Reads at 5700MB/s. Yeah, 5.7GB/s. Very nice.
Please…some one make a computer speak video for idiots like myself and 90% of the comment section. We’d love you for eternity.
Hmmm I wonder how fast my booting speed will cease if I use an m2?
*Some Facts Authenticating ‘Adhikr is from the Lord*
The Book We have sent down unto you full of Blessings so that they may proud (ponder) about Its verses, and in order to remind those who utilize their intelligence (38: 29).
The verse reminds the believers to be proud and self-sufficient with the blessed Book Adhikr. It is understood from the verse 25: 18 the Muslims who became the bore and boar people by forgetting Adhikr – Wise Reminder – will not utilize It. Therefore it is the inevitable duty of the believers to motivate the intelligent people belonging to the Messenger Muhammad’s community (people other than Muslims) to utilize Adhikr by pointing out the predictions and prophecies of the Splendid Book Adhikr. The verse 41: 53 says: “We will show them Our verses on the horizons as well as in themselves until It becomes clear to them that indeed It is the Truth; doesn’t your Lord sufficient for you as a witness upon everything? “.
Some examples which were not understood before, but understandable today:
– The fact that each and every individual bears his recording software on his neck as mentioned in the verses 17: 13-14 can be easily understood nowadays since computer is commonly used everywhere in the day to day affairs. This fact can be compared to the ‘black box’ used in aeroplane from which all details relating to the aeroplane can be recovered.
– The fact that man is created in the belly of mother in three veils of darkness mentioned in the verses 39: 6 is recognised and approved by the medical science.
– The palatable clear water and salted bitter water existing in the sea without mingling each other mentioned in the verse 25: 53 is discovered recently.
– The fact that universe is formed through big bang explosions and water is made essential for existence of life mentioned in the verse 21: 30.
– The fact that heart is participating for the sight mentioned in the verse 22: 46.
– The dead body of Pharaoh present in Egyptian museum today having 3000 years old is kept by Lord Allah as a sign for mankind mentioned in the verse 10: 92
– The mountain of clouds in the sky just like Ice Mountains mentioned in the verse 24: 43 became visible only after the invention of the aeroplane.
– Lord Allah who created man with unique fingerprints is capable to resurrect him by assembling his bones mentioned in the verses 75: 3-4 is more remarkable today when fingerprints are used as a criterion for identity.
– Everything is created in pairs; from the earth produces, from their own and the things they have no knowledge mentioned in the verse 36: 36 is more understandable today when an atom can also be divided.
– If scientific knowledge before was the sun is immobile while the earth and other planets are swimming around it along in their orbits; the modern science have approved that sun also moves towards its destination as mentioned in the verse 36: 38.
– The earth will submit its record on the Day of Judgement as mentioned in the verse 99: 4 can be understood easily today as the audio and video recordings are widely used.
As told in the verse 62: 2-3 Prophet Muhammed and Book Adhikr are not only for illiterate Arabs, but also for those from among illiterate who will take birth up till the Dooms Day. One can understand from from this verse that Adhikr – the Wise Reminder – can be grasped more by those who can’t read and write Arabic than those who are proud in learning Arabic. Since Adhikr is the speech of the Lord which is made very easy to understand, if anyone is reading It by praying with soul as: ” Oh my Lord! Increase me the knowledge”, he can grasp It very easily as told in the verse 54: 17.
Today those people who belong to Messenger Muhammad’s community ( people other than Muslims) by reading and understanding Adhikr can codify the belief according to It’s teaching. They should also have to remind Muslims who became the bore people by rejecting Adhikr- the Straight Book. Whoever from mankind if hides Adhikr-the real knowledge from the Lord-after receiving It should return to the Hell- Kafir Satan’s paradise. Anyone who likes to return to the Paradise should testify and follow Adhikr which is the only Ticket to the Paradise as well as Safeguard against the Hell.
From the Three Time Knower mentioned in the verse 25: 59.

Hey, I have a x99 ultra gaming motherboard.
Am getting the new Optane 900p ssd, should I get the m.2, u.2 or the PCI-e? So confusing ?
PCIe is like Jesus, everything is possible through it you just need an adapter
5:23 Wish the companies making these were newer start ups. Seems like some explosive technology in the way hardwares been improving itself.
That was thoroughly confusing
