A customer is looking to upgrade the primary storage in their high-performance gaming laptop to reduce loading times for games and applications. They want the most suitable drive based on the laptop’s support of the latest storage technologies. Which of the following should you recommend?
A traditional spinning hard drive modified to fit the slimmer profile of modern laptops
A flash storage module equipped for legacy multipurpose slots
An SSD using PCIe as the transfer protocol in an M.2 form factor
An SSD designed for the same form factor with a protocol optimized for backward compatibility
An SSD leveraging the PCIe interface, designed for M.2 slots, represents the most appropriate choice for customers seeking high-speed performance for gaming and applications. These drives typically use the NVMe protocol, which supports higher transfer speeds than those offered by other interfaces. Given the laptop's compatibility with cutting-edge storage technologies, an SSD utilizing PCIe via the M.2 slot offers superior performance over alternatives designed around older or slower interfaces.
