on a laptop you need to have the right connector/interface

this one (in french, but you may find the same on english) explain the situation.
I say this because if you search "nvme" on (french) amazon, you get mostly M SSD device that seems to have only ssd speed (6Gb/s)
so if one wants nvme pcie speed he have to buy an other laptop
notice ssd versus rotating is already much better
I'm a big SSD fan - Every system I've owned for years has booted into an SSD, and even my router/home server uses SSD storage for everything besides backup. After playing with them at work, I've realised NVMe are significantly more exciting and I've just ordered the parts for my new home computer which will be the first machine I've built that doesn't have a single disk or traditional SSD In my case I chose the Samsung 960 Pro NVME at 1TB which come at about €560 each, but sequential read speeds of 3500MB/sec (not a typo, BYTES, not Bits), and write speeds of 2100MB/sec There are more reasonably priced options. If you're only interested in using an NVMe SSD for booting then you don't need 1TB; The 512GB model is half the price. Samsung also do an 'Evo' range which is a little slower (3200MB/sec & 1900MB/sec) but cheaper still, and offer a 250GB sized model for €126. This is what I'd recommend for someone who wants a reasonably cheap way of dramatically improving their OS and root filesystem application performance. But you don't need to go full NVMe - if you're not an SSD user yet, you should be, and you can achieve this without needing to buy a new system with spare PCI-E slots or dedicated M2 SSD slots You can get a Sata SSD off the shelf for under €100 and there is quite simple no cheaper or easier way to significantly reduce system boot times and application launch times. I wouldn't use an SSD only for swap - they're to good at everything else they do, but I do put my swap partition (swap size = RAM size if I care about hibernation, otherwise no larger than 2GB) on whatever SSD I'm booting to. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
