M2 SSD enclosure.
example - probably cheaper on fleabay: https://www.pccasegear.com/products/40405?PPC=Y&gclid=EAIaIQ…will be handy for your 128gb once it is removed.
When migrating drives use clonezilla. You need some level of tech skill to manage it but it's pretty easy. It'll do a full clone but also be able to expand the partition.
Clonezilla can do disk to image (eg save it on a usb hdd) then write that image back to the new ssd.
On a side note however, this is still a SATA drive, not the faster nvme/PCIe. Unless you have an abundance of m2 slots, I would suggest using a faster ssd (eg the currently well priced 970 evo)
For a standard user, nvme vs sata ssd will be a 1:1 experience.
If you're a power user, sure, but the price isnt justified unless you're a power user.
And even then, i almost always reach other bottlenecks before my sata controller is maxed out….
And my system is very far from a slouch.Biggest one these days for the more common user will be in gaming. Sata will bottleneck when loading assets onto the gpu.
I'm using an nvme ssd as a gaming ssd not my OS disk, because for a lot of OS tasks it's all about 4k rw not sustained sequential performance.
Just format and start afresh.. It's easy. Transfer whatever you can't replace.
How do these compare to the Sammy's with cashback at the moment?
The 1tb for ~$160 or whatever it was seems like a much better deal.
These days I pretty much put all sata ssds into the same performance category;they're kinda nicely fast. If you have a m2 slot (and it should support even pcie2) then the nvme options are in a completely new league for speed.
The 1TB is SATA, though. The M.2 is OOS
Great price for 512GB MLC (Far better endurance than TLC, QLC drives) SSD.

Are M2 slots faster than SATA3 taken these M2 ones are not NVM?
no
Got really excited for a moment.
Can get a 970 Evo for ~$135 Shipped at the moment, think I am going to jump on that.
I'm coming from a 850 Evo on my 3770k system to an 8700k.
The real shame is that I'm going from 16GB of RAM to 16GB of RAM. :P
Back in stock slightly more: $104.80 ?
I would love to upgrade my 128Gig M2 I have as my desktop operating drive to this. Anybody have any recommendations on how to transfer everything across if I only have the one M2 slot on my motherboard?
