I have been writing about consumer audio, Apple, macOS and digital photography at Forbes for a decade. I love technology that makes people’s lives more fun, more creative and more productive. I'm on a mission to hunt down and review the best products featuring innovative technology so you know what to buy.
One of the quickest and easiest ways of perking up a computer’s performance in terms of speed or storage is to upgrade its hard drive or SSD . This month, I decided to carry out a little project to show how to upgrade a laptop’s internal storage with a more efficient NVMe SSD, which will boot up faster and hold lots more data.
Another advantage of upgrading the NVMe SSD in your laptop is the lower power consumption of newer SSDs like the Lexar 790. The 790’s power consumption is 40% lower than DRAM-cached PCIe Gen 4 SSDs, meaning the battery charge in your laptop will last longer.The Lexar 790 NVMe also supports Host Memory Buffer 3.0, activating the DRAM cache function on the host laptop and providing a smoother transfer speed.
To get the maximum performance out of the Lexar 790 SSD, you will need a computer that supports PCIe Gen 4, but even if your laptop doesn’t support the latest standard, it will still benefit from the performance upgrade and provide better battery performance thanks to the lower power draw of the Lexar 790.... [+]And what do you do with the old SSD that was removed from your laptop? That’s an easy question. Whenever I have a spare NVMe SSD, I order a Ugreen M.2 NVMe Gen 3.
