A:Answer Two. You should be asking what form factor, and gen, and cooling. Its Gen 3x4 NVMe, form factor M.2 2280 times two. No heat pipe for either NVMe slot, but the #1 slot does have copper, and both have thermal pad to the aluminum back. If you are doing productivity, the NVMe will get very hot, so ensure you properly seat pad (or buy new one) to frame. You will get about 3550 MB/s read and about 3100 MB/s write, depending on other apps running when you test. Attached is a CDM 8.0.4 SS, with 64% full and 4 months of use, on the stock 512 GB NVMe.
