A user is researching hard drives to upgrade a PC and has decided to purchase a NVMe drive. Which of the following should the user confirm are available on the PC before making the purchase? (Choose two.)
PCIe is NOT dedicated to external drives.
PCIe has many purposes internally and also with things besides drives, such as GPU, network cards, sound cards, capture cards, etc.
M.2 is the physical slot that the NVMe drive goes inside. PCIe is the communication protocol. If the motherboard has an M.2 slot and supports PCIe, the NVMe drive will be accommodated on the motherboard.
M.2 Slot (Option B):
NVMe drives typically use the M.2 form factor.
Check if your PC motherboard has an available M.2 slot. Look for an M.2 connector on the motherboard labeled for NVMe or PCIe SSDs.
PCIe Support (Option C):
NVMe drives connect via the PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) interface.
Ensure that your PC supports PCIe (usually through the motherboard chipset) to take advantage of NVMe speeds.
NVMe (NVM Express™, or Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a communication protocol designed specifically to work with flash memory using the PCIe interface.
B. M.2
C. PCIe
The user should confirm that the PC has an M.2 or PCIe slot available, as NVMe drives use these interfaces to connect to the motherboard. SATA and SAS are older interfaces and will not work with NVMe drives. SCSI is a different type of interface and is not commonly used with consumer PCs. DRAM is a type of memory and not a drive interface.
is b and c in case you don't have M.2 get an pcie to m2 adapter
